We had selected conveyancers with offices in Wanborough on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by UBS but by your Wanborough property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office.

If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wanborough is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander 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 Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
How does conveyancing in Wanborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wanborough come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Wanborough usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wanborough or who has acted in the same development.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Wanborough both have approximately 50 years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Wanborough is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the property. For most purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Wanborough conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

What is the service charge and ground rent on the property? Are there any major works in the planning that could add a premium to the maintenance costs? The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
