Please help. My Chertsey conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Chertsey conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Do I not have any options here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chertsey conveyancing searches.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Chertsey. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Chertsey - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Chertsey conveyancing firm to represent me?

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Chertsey residence is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 82.93 years.
