My fiance’s dad is a solicitor. I suspect that I'll be able to get friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Meopham?
You should compare pricing. Make use of our search tool on this site. Whilst quotes seem to contrast greatly but the service one can expect are distinct between property lawyers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
We wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Meopham with a residential mortgage from Bank of Scotland.We like our Meopham conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Scotland informed us he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 Bank of Scotland

I completed on my flat on 7 February and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Meopham expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Meopham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Meopham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Meopham I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Meopham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
