My IFA has asked me for my Laindon law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Laindon branch but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried contacting your Laindon solicitor about this?. Most Laindon conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
Our conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Laindon. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor says that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Laindon conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Laindon conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Laindon conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
How many lease extensions has the firm conducted in Laindon in the last 12 months? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?
I purchased a studio flat in Laindon, conveyancing formalities finalised March 1996. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Laindon with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2089
With only 65 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £13,300 and £15,400 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Laindon being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our lender?
We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Laindon conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Laindon knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
