My fiance and I intend to purchase a 1 bedroom flat in Madeley with a mortgage from Santander.We have a Madeley conveyancing lawyer but Santander informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Santander panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Santander panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Santander use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Santander approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Santander

I am aiming to move home in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Madeley. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only happen once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Madeley or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Madeley.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Madeley with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Madeley I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Madeley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Madeley. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Madeley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

How much is the ground rent and service charge? The answer will be helpful as a) areas could result in problems in the block as the common areas may begin to deteriorate where maintenance are not paid for b) if the tenants have a dispute with the running of the building you will wish to have full disclosure Where a Madeley lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Madeleylease extensions you would need to own the premises for 24 months before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension.
