Please could you suggest a Clydesdale sanctioned Charterhouse conveyancing firm finish our house move within a short deadline? Am I best advised to unstruct a high street Charterhouse firm or a web based firm?
We can recommend some very good Charterhouse conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Charterhouse. Approach some well established law practices and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your requirements together with your reasons and ask for an assurance on your deadline. Select the lawyer that appears most efficient.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Charterhouse conveyancing?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Are all Charterhouse Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
We expect to receive a AIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Charterhouse solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Charterhouse solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Charterhouse?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Charterhouse. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Charterhouse I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Charterhouse suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

The estate agent has recommended their solicitor for the conveyancing in Charterhouse - won’t it be better to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to opt for whichever solicitor you decide for your Charterhouse home move. The solicitor suggested by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the right conveyancer, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
