We had instructed conveyancers locally in Waltham Cross on the RBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate amount for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by RBS but by your Waltham Cross conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Kent Reliance as we intend to carry out renovations to our property in Waltham Cross. Are we obliged to appoint a local Waltham Cross solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Kent Reliance would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance panel.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Waltham Cross is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am buying a new build apartment in Waltham Cross. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Waltham Cross I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waltham Cross suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Waltham Cross and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Waltham Cross. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Waltham Cross area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

All being well we will complete the sale of our £325,000 maisonette in Waltham Cross in 8 days. The landlords agents has quoted £336 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Waltham Cross?
Waltham Cross conveyancing on leasehold apartments often involves the buyer’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can one make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Waltham Cross conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Waltham Cross conveyancing firm who can help.
