A mortgage offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom flat is due imminently. Can you suggest a cheap conveyancing law firm in Templecombe?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the lowest fares for conveyancing in Templecombe. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers.

The optimum outcome, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up invoiced for extras and still not end up with the service expected.
We are selling our apartment in Templecombe. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Templecombe. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Templecombe?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Templecombe is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Templecombe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Templecombe 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 Templecombe 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.

I work for a long established estate agency in Templecombe where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Templecombe conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
