One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in East Molesey. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in East Molesey , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My East Molesey conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in East Molesey registration formalities.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in East Molesey I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Molesey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
