I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Nat West. I intend to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Brackley. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Brackley. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Brackley involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
We are aiming to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Brackley. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent however this can only take place after the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Brackley or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Brackley.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Nottingham as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Brackley. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Brackley solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Nottingham do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Brackley. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Brackley conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Brackley conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Brackley conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:
-
What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Brackley in the last twenty four months? How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation?
Brackley Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Queries before Purchasing

Most Brackley leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for maintenance of the building set on behalf of the landlord. Where you buy the flat you will have to pay this charge, normally periodically accross the year. This can vary from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common areas. In all probability there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, normally this is not a significant amount, say about £50-£100 but you should to enquire it because on occasion it could be prohibitively expensive. If a Brackley lease has less than eighty years it will affect the value of the property. Check with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering how much this will be. For most Brackleylease extensions you would need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments?
The lawyers conducting our conveyancing in Brackley has sent papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all properties in Brackley should be registered?
Almost 100% of property in Brackley is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Brackley conveyancing lawyers will be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the prevailing advice presently is for the seller to register it first and thereafter deal with the dispose of the property to the purchaser - this will predictably result in a significant delay.
