Have you tried contacting your Reading conveyancing practitioner about this?. They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Reading. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Reading building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Reading conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
About to purchase house in Reading. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society 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 Reading conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Reading is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Reading are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Reading you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Reading may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
