I have just been advised by my broker that my Leamouth property lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?

We are planning to move house in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Leamouth. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Leamouth or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Leamouth.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Leamouth building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Leamouth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Leamouth I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Leamouth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Leamouth where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Leamouth conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I own a second floor flat in Leamouth. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for a lease extension?

I previously told by my mortgage company that their panel lawyers operate no move no fee basis for conveyancing in Leamouth. I had a purchase fall through yet the solicitors want search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!
Leamouth conveyancing search costs are separate expenses not legal fees as these are paid to independent parties.
