Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cranham?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could impact a commercial estate in Cranham?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Cranham will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Cranham. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Cranham.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Cranham it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can cause delays to Cranham commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Cranham.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cranham before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a mortgage on such a home.

Am I right to be wary about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Cranham conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward lawyers to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Cranham. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Cranham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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 inherited a garden flat in Cranham. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the price.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Cranham premises is 37 Lodge Court High Street in November 2013. the decision of the LVT was that the premium to be paid for the new lease was £25,559 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 57.5 years.
