I am not in a position to travel far from Bracebridge Heath. I would like to know the reason why all Bracebridge Heath solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a practice needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some have made a decision to restrict the number of organisations they use to represent them. It is worth noting that building societies have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing supplied by any Bracebridge Heath conveyancer on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are opposing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HMLR exposes that thousands of law organisations only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts question why conveyancing firms deserve the right to remain on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bracebridge Heath?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

There are only 72 years remaining on my lease in Bracebridge Heath. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Bracebridge Heath.
Bracebridge Heath Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should consider before Purchasing
-
How much is the yearly maintenance fee and ground rent? Are there any major works in the near future that will increase the service fees? Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the salability of the flat. Check with your lender that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the residence for a couple of years before you are legally able to extend the lease.
We are midway through buying a residence in Bracebridge Heath. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the salability of the house?
Bracebridge Heath conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the value significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your solicitor.
