My fiance’s mother is a solicitor. I suspect that I'll be able to get preferential rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Marlow?

I sincerely hope you can help me. My Marlow lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toapply for Marlow conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have a choice here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Marlow conveyancing searches.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Marlow. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Marlow?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Marlow. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
Is it correct that all Marlow CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the HSBC conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Marlow. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I pay a maintenance contribution for my property in Marlow. As a result of poor financial planning I slipped into arrears with remittance. The freeholders agreed a payment plan but there is still in the region of £2000 remaining to be paid.
I want to sell and I am panicking this can threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and subsequently discharge the arrears from the completion monies - is this possible?
