Me and my fiance are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Wroxham with a mortgage. We have a Wroxham lawyer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or keep our Wroxham conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Wroxham conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My mortgage company has suggested a law firm on their panel based in Wroxham but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Wroxham round the corner to me. Are you able to help?

Have purchased a a detached house in Wroxham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Wroxham conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wroxham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Wroxham I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wroxham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Wroxham. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Wroxham - 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.

One month into a sale of a flat in Wroxham. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune by the freeholder. To date we have forked out £275 for a leasehold management pack and then another £200 plus VAT for answers to queries raised by the purchaser's property lawyer.
You will not have any say over the extent of the charges for this information but the typical fee for the information for Wroxham leasehold property is £350. For Wroxham conveyancing deals it is customary for the vendor to cover the costs. The landlord or their agents are under no statutory obligation to answer such questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires capped fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any prescriptive time frame by which they are duty bound to issue the information.
