We are purchasing a house and the solicitor has referenced Chancel Repair for which the house could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really necessary for conveyancing in Onslow Village

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Onslow Village completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Onslow Village I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Onslow Village for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Onslow Village and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to business tenants, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end.

We are planning to purchase a four room apartmentin Onslow Village with a loan from a bank. We like our lawyer in Onslow Village however our bank inform us now that he's not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Onslow Village solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Onslow Village lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Onslow Village : a mortgagee 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
