I plan on buying a leasehold flat in Rutland. My property lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Rutland conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a couple of alternatives open to you here
- Carry on with your preferred Rutland property lawyer but your bank will need to use a conveyancer on their approved list. This will result in additional fees and likely delay.
- Get a new conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancer to apply to join the lender panel
I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Rutland. The vast majority the properties have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Rutland?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Rutland conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where accelerating the process and price are primary issues you should discuss with your solicitor about the option of search insurance

I purchased a basement flat in Rutland, conveyancing was carried out in 2006. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Rutland with a long lease are worth £196,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2089
With only 64 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £15,200 and £17,600 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
