Please help. My Fenton lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Fenton conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Do I not have any say here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Fenton conveyancing searches.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Fenton conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Fenton conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you speak with two or three firms including non Fenton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:

How many lease extensions have they completed in Fenton in the last year?
I acquired a garden flat in Fenton, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2009. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Fenton with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2090
With 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £15,200 and £17,600 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
