Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, the vast majority banks no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one reason for obstruction in Hazlemere conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Hazlemere.
The deeds to my house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Hazlemere 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Hazlemere is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hazlemere are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hazlemere you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hazlemere may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I inherited a leasehold flat in Hazlemere, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Hazlemere with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2079
With 54 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
