I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in South Hornchurch. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify practices on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in South Hornchurch?

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in South Hornchurch where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local South Hornchurch conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
Having spent years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in South Hornchurch. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a South Hornchurch conveyancing firm who can help.
