I am buying property in Axbridge. My Conveyancer is not on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Axbridge conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities when you need a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can select a Axbridge conveyancer of your choosing. However, where the solicitor appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel supplemental charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they can do so.

I purchased a freehold property in Axbridge but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Axbridge and has limited impact for conveyancing in Axbridge but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Axbridge I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Axbridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I have been looking for Axbridge competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be confident that all the Axbridge law firms that are identified on your site are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Axbridge conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
