Finally, a mortgage offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my single bedroom flat is to be issued imminently. Could you put forward a low cost conveyancing practitioner in Cranford?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of the lowest fares for conveyancing in Cranford. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers enticing you with £100 conveyancing in Cranford.

I can see plenty of information on this site about conveyancing in Cranford but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Cranford
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Cranford conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Cranford conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Santander done the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Cranford 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Cranford is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Cranford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cranford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cranford 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 residence.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Cranford. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the service charge as usual as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in Cranford. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
