Are all Maxton Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation 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 conveyancing solicitors.
Does a directory service exist listing Principality panel conveyancers in Maxton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available on the web. If you are looking for a Maxton conveyancing practitioner on the Principality please make the most of our tool.

-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Maxton
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Maxton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Maxton. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Maxton who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Maxton conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I purchased a garden flat in Maxton, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Maxton with a long lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2092
With 67 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £10,500 and £12,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
