I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I would like to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Tolworth. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Tolworth but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Tolworth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Tolworth conveyancing?
The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We had instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Tolworth on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Tolworth solicitor. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Tolworth. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I am the leaseholder of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Tolworth. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to arrive at the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Tolworth residence is Flat D 15 Claremont Gardens in September 2013. TheTribunal determined in accordance with section48 and Schedule13 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease should be fourteen thousand one hundred and eighty seven pounds (£14,187.00) This case was in relation to 1 flat.
Having used 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 mortgage company 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.
