Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Sunningdale. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Sunningdale is approved on their conveyancing panel?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Sunningdale is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Sunningdale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sunningdale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sunningdale may ascertain 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 property.

It would be wise to discover as much as you can about the company managing the building as they will either make life much simpler or a lot more difficult. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical issues such as the tidiness of the common parts. Enquire of prospective neighbours if they are happy with their service. Finally, be sure you understand the dates that the service fees are due to the managing agents and precisely what it includes. The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the tenants have control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Are there any major works in the near future that will likely increase the service costs?

It is possible that there is a residents association that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and appear better than publicly owned.
