I am not in a position to travel far from Uttoxeter. Can you please explain the reason why all Uttoxeter solicitors are not on all bank panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders pruning less reputable firms from their official list of approved conveyancing practitioners .
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Uttoxeter and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Uttoxeter you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Uttoxeter)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Uttoxeter is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Uttoxeter are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Uttoxeter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Uttoxeter may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Uttoxeter conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Uttoxeter conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Uttoxeter conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm.

I purchased a leasehold flat in Uttoxeter, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2001. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Uttoxeter with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2091
You have 67 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence.

There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
