In the event thatI were to purchase a simple residential homein Twickenham for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Twickenham?
Any savings you would achieve will be limited to the disbursement for searches. Your lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be a lot.
I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Twickenham but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Twickenham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Twickenham but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

Is it the case that all Twickenham CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Twickenham solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
