Please help. My Bethnal Green solicitor is advising me that he has toorder Bethnal Green conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bethnal Green conveyancing searches.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Bethnal Green where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Bethnal Green conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in Bethnal Green. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Bethnal Green conveyancing firm who can help.

This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired term was 72.39 years.
Myself and my partner have recently had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will incur an additional fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have asked Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to utilise our search facility and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Bethnal Green on the panel for Nationwide.
