I have just over seventy years unexpired on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in Bromley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Tesco Bank panel can deal with such extensions right?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition.

We previously chose conveyancing lawyers locally in Bromley on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Bromley property lawyer. Some firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Bromley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Bromley.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Bromley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Bromley. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bromley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a property in Swansea but reside in Bromley. My lawyer (approximately 235 miles awayrequires that I execute a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Bromley who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Bromley

Attend your Bromley high street. Pop in to two or three solicitor’s offices and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Set out your requirements and get assurances on speed. Select the firm that appears most efficient. Be sure to select a lawyer on the list of lawyers acceptable to your lender.
