We previously instructed conveyancers located in Shepperton on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for handling the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Shepperton lawyer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
My partner and I are in the process of looking at houses in Shepperton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with UBS.
It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Shepperton is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Shepperton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shepperton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shepperton may ascertain 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 property.

Make use of our comparison tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are your lawyer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should talk with you solicitor and specify your desired outcome and needs.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Shepperton. Conveyancing and Bank of Scotland mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Shepperton who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Shepperton conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Shepperton conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to decide the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Shepperton flat is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 82.93 years.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a four bedroom first floor flatin Shepperton with a mortgage from a lender. We wish to instruct our solicitor in Shepperton however our mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Shepperton conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Shepperton lawyer?
No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Shepperton : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
