I am mortgaging my flat in Tilbury, does my lawyer have to be on the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, but Virgin Money would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

The preferential method of choosing the right conveyancer is through a personal recommendation, so seek the guidance of colleagues and relatives who have purchased a property in Tilbury or a reputable estate agent or financial adviser.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Tilbury. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I bought a leasehold flat in Tilbury, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Tilbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2079
With just 54 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
