We previously selected solicitors with offices in South Oxhey on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your South Oxhey solicitor. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. South Oxhey conveyancing solicitors are instructed. How long does it take for Coventry BS to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS done the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in South Oxhey 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you may buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in South Oxhey where we see a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local South Oxhey conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a South Oxhey conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a South Oxhey conveyancing firm who can help.

My wife and I have chosen a South Oxhey conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be concerned or is that the norm with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have strict obligations regulating monies deposited by them.
