My Stotfold solicitor has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Stotfold. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Stotfold?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Stotfold. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Stotfold on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by RBS but by your Stotfold lawyer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Stotfold I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Stotfold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Stotfold and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business tenants, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
