We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Sunbury on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further sum for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?

The charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your Sunbury solicitor. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Sunbury agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sunbury. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Sunbury conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to press on with searches.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Sunbury is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Sunbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sunbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sunbury may decide 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 premises.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Sunbury. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Sunbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
