We instructed a local lawyer for my conveyancing in West Molesey yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in West Molesey?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract those transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such deals rarely cover disbursements for example West Molesey conveyancing search expenses.

I am buying a end of terrace house in West Molesey. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in West Molesey can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party.

Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in West Molesey. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in West Molesey agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in West Molesey. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, West Molesey conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Santander approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in West Molesey ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on such a home.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in West Molesey. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in West Molesey - 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 given up seeking a lease extension in West Molesey. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a West Molesey property is Flat D 15 Claremont Gardens in September 2013. TheTribunal determined in accordance with section48 and Schedule13 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease should be fourteen thousand one hundred and eighty seven pounds (£14,187.00) This case was in relation to 1 flat.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
