Raglan leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Raglan. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Raglan?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Raglan. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.

Is it correct that all Raglan CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the RBS conveyancing list of approved firms?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Raglan on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Raglan conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease?

How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a property in Raglan?
If a Raglan property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would just be required to supply proof why the joint proprietor is not included in the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things smoother for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title register by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
