I can't travel far from Camberley. What is the rationale as to why all Camberley conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s viewpoint, the the contrary view is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and consider it vital to shield themselves from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern banks have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Camberley with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Camberley can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers. Many landlords or Management Companies in Camberley charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Camberley. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Camberley home move. If a new share is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over rather than ongoing.
