It has come to my attention via my broker that my Faringdon solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
Your first step should be to contact your Faringdon conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years old) in Faringdon. Almost all the appartments are already sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Faringdon?
If you getting a loan, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Faringdon conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to switch to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Faringdon.

A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth discovering what this will be. For most Faringdonlease extensions you would need to own the residence for a couple of years before you are legally able to exercise a lease extension. The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is usually retained where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
