I am not well enough to travel far from Camberley. I would like to know the logic why all Camberley property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s viewpoint, the the contrary view is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel it imperative to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Camberley conveyancer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Camberley with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Camberley can be reduced if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives. Some Camberley leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Camberley charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for 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 frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Camberley. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
