My husband and I are hoping to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Marazion with a mortgage. We have a Marazion solicitor, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Marazion lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. 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. A further alternative is for your Marazion conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
What is the optimum way to investigate if the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Marazion is on the mortgage lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Britannia thus paying £192.00 in supplemental conveyancing costs.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Marazion with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. Is this normal?.
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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Marazion. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a studio flat in Marazion, conveyancing having been completed September 2005. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Marazion with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2094
With only 68 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
How does one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in Marazion?
Where a Marazion property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a sale your lawyer would simply be required to supply proof as to the reason the other owner is missing from the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things simpler in the future you may apply to have the deceased party removed from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
