We had selected conveyancers located in Chessington on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further fee for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Chessington lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

We expect to receive a AIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Chessington solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Chessington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Lloyds are being problematic. The Chessington solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Chessington with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it will impact my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years left on my lease in Chessington. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What should I do?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Chessington.

I own a first floor flat in Chessington. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?
