Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Undy is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Undy conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Undy so that I can attend their offices if required.
Nowadays approved lawyers for mortgage companies conduct all of the work via Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in the country. That being said you can see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Undy ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Undy conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Undy conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain permission from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Undy, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Undy with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2094
With just 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" 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 in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Undy being on the bank conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our lender?
We do not recommend specific Undy firms as the right Undy conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Undy knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
