The mortgage agreement from Santander for the refinancing of my 4 room garden flat is expected within the next few days. Are you able to recommend a cheap conveyancing law firm in Motspur Park?
You have come to the wrong site to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Motspur Park. Our aim is to provide cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be fooled by organisations teasing you with low cost conveyancing in Motspur Park. At best, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service you were hoping for.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Motspur Park lawyers face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Motspur Park. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Motspur Park. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Shortly after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Motspur Park I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Motspur Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
