The conveyancing charges for a leasehold premises in Shaw is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold transaction.

Is it the case that all Shaw solicitor practices on the UBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Shaw solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Shaw solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Shaw completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Shaw differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Shaw come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Shaw typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shaw or who has acted in the same development.

-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Insurance obligations
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Birmingham Midshires, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Shaw, conveyancing having been completed in 2012. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Shaw with an extended lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2082
You have 58 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £23,800 and £27,400 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
