It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Symonds Yat. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £200. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My offer on a property in Symonds Yat has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Symonds Yat. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Symonds Yat conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Symonds Yat.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Symonds Yat is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Symonds Yat are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Symonds Yat you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Symonds Yat 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 property.

Completion is due on our sale of a £300,000 garden flat in Symonds Yat in just under a week. The management company has quoted £300 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Symonds Yat?

Symonds Yat conveyancing on leasehold apartments nine out of ten times results in administration charges levied by freeholders :

    Completing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Symonds Yat Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Symonds Yat leasehold premises is £350. For Symonds Yat conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

I own a split level flat in Symonds Yat, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Symonds Yat with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2101

With just 76 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
