It has come to my attention via my estate agent that my Mousehole property lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Mousehole conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Mousehole conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
Completed the sale of my flat in Mousehole last August but our buyer keeps calling me complaining that her solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps specific conveyancing in Mousehole.
How can we know in advance if a Mousehole conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Mousehole obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being difficult. The Mousehole solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Mousehole. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mousehole solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Mousehole where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Mousehole conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Mousehole, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Mousehole with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2092
With only 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
