My IFA says he needs my Lanchester lawyer’ panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Lanchester office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Lanchester lawyer . Most Lanchester law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
My god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Lanchester with a home loan from Coventry BS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Lanchester conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Lanchester conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you talk with several firms including non Lanchester conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be of use:

If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not?
I inherited a ground floor flat in Lanchester, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Lanchester with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2093
You have 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
