I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Goodwick. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are about to sign contracts for a property in Goodwick. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society expires on 6/8/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 10/8/2026. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?

Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Goodwick?
If you are buying a property in Goodwick your solicitor will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this will be asked for shortly prior to exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.
I am considering applying for a Nationwide mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Goodwick with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nationwide will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I own a leasehold flat in Goodwick. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Goodwick who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Goodwick conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I purchased a basement flat in Goodwick, conveyancing having been completed September 2012. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Goodwick with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2093
With 67 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £10,500 and £12,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
