We wanted to use a property lawyer in Broadway for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Godiva Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Broadway conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms about their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Broadway conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing.

Just bought a terraced house in Broadway , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Broadway conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Broadway is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Broadway I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Broadway for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Broadway and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial lessees, granting the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
