I am getting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. My intention is to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Belgravia. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Belgravia. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Belgravia involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Belgravia I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Belgravia for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
