My husband and I are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Camborne with a residential mortgage from Santander.We use our Camborne conveyancing solicitor but Santander advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Santander panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Santander conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Camborne is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Camborne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Camborne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Camborne may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Camborne. I happened to discover a site which looks to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals done via phone that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Camborne where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Camborne conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Camborne, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Camborne with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093
With 67 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
