Is it the case that all Brewood CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do Brewood conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Brewood building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Brewood conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but I am based in Brewood. My solicitor (who is 250 miles from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Brewood who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Brewood based
I today plan to offer on a house that seems to be perfect, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have since found out 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 Brewood. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Brewood ?
Most houses in Brewood are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are purchasing in Brewood in which case you should be looking for a Brewood conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the freeholder’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your solicitor should report to you on the legal implications.
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Brewood, conveyancing having been completed in 2012. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Brewood with a long lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2078
With only 52 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
