Does a directory service exist listing Santander panel conveyancers in Sunbury on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings viewable online. If you are looking for a Sunbury property lawyer on the Santander please make the most of our facility.
How can we know in advance if a Sunbury conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Sunbury obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, HSBC are being difficult. The Sunbury solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a residence in Sunbury? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that means some owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Sunbury?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Sunbury to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Sunbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Sunbury approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Sunbury usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Sunbury or who has acted in the same development.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Sunbury. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of 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.
Having spent years of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Sunbury. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Sunbury residence is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 82.93 years.
I have read on various online forums that when choosing a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your mortgage company. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP with Virgin Money and I already have a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sunbury at the ready. Will Nat West Bank need an approved conveyancer to be selected? Does a list of panel solicitors even exist for my conveyancing in Sunbury?
You need to instruct a solicitor that is on the Nat West Bank panel. Just telephone your preferred Sunbury conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Nat West Bank panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Proceed with your preferred Sunbury conveyancer but Nat West Bank will need to retain a conveyancer from their approved panel. This will result in additional fees together with likely interruption.
- Choose a new conveyancer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to apply to join the lender panel.
