Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Rochford. I would like to know the understand why all Rochford property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and feel it imperative to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.
My Conveyancer in Rochford is not listed on the TSB Approved Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the TSB panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Rochford solicitors but TSB will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees as well as result in delays.
- Choose a new practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are TSB approved.
- Try to convince your TSB based solicitor to try to join the TSB panel

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Rochford will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Rochford.

Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can cause delays to Rochford commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Rochford.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Rochford I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rochford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
