I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in West Ealing. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in West Ealing who is on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in West Ealing.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify law firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in West Ealing?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in West Ealing. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in West Ealing - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a West Ealing conveyancing firm to help?
Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, 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 sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a West Ealing flat is 6 Jessamine Road in August 2013. The Tribunals valuation (as annexed to the decision) calculated the amount payable as £18,355 for the freehold reversion This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 72.39 years.
