I am not well enough to travel far from Beadnell. Please spell out why all Beadnell conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms regarding their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

How do I find out if the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Beadnell is on the mortgage lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Barclays Direct thus paying £192.00 in supplemental legal invoice.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Beadnell I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beadnell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Beadnell. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Beadnell are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Beadnell in which case you should be shopping around for a Beadnell conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses.

The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the freeholder’spermission to carry out alterations.

I acquired a garden flat in Beadnell, conveyancing was carried out in 1996. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Beadnell with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2091

With just 66 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
