We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Edenbridge with a mortgage. We have a Edenbridge solicitor, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Edenbridge property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Edenbridge conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Edenbridge I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edenbridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Taking into account that I am about to part with 450k on a property in Edenbridge I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thetransaction prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be doing your conveyancing in Edenbridge.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Edenbridge should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Edenbridge. I've land on a web site which seems to have the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Should one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title register for a house in Edenbridge?
Where a Edenbridge property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would simply be required to supply proof as to the reason the co owner is not included in the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
