Can you help? My Rothley solicitor is advising me that he has toapply for Rothley conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Do I not have any options here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Rothley conveyancing searches.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Rothley conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Rothley conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Rothley conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? What are the costs for lease extension work?
I bought a split level flat in Rothley, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. 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? Corresponding properties in Rothley with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083
With 59 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
