We are due to move home in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Egham. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your site.

My offer was accepted on a house in Egham on 11/2/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Are HSBC entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of stalling in Egham house deals. Is there any truth in this?

1st pick a bank such as Yorkshire Building Society, The Mortgage Works or Alliance & Leicester then type in your preferred area e.g. Egham. Conveyancing firms in Egham and further afield should be identified.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Egham from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Egham can be avoided if you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • Some Egham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.

After months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Egham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

Where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Egham property is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 82.93 years.

Some months ago I was told by my bank that their approved lawyers work on no sale no charge basis for conveyancing in Egham. I had a purchase fall through nevertheless the lawyers have invoiced for search fees! They say the fees are seperate!

Egham conveyancing search costs are disbursements not legal fees as these are paid to independent parties.
