My IFA says he needs my Frogmore lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have e-mailed my local Frogmore branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Frogmore property lawyer . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Frogmore. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Frogmore involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Frogmore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Frogmore contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Frogmore tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Frogmore or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Frogmore I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Frogmore suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
