Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Mobberley is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in Mobberley is inevitably greater as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the additional investigations necessary in liaising with the freeholder and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Mobberley 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to locate all the relevant paperwork so you may purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.

My step-son is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. After the offer was accepted on flat we contacted the mortgage institution to move forward with his. We were shocked to hear that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they must be on their panel, is this legal?
Lenders tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Mobberley conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
