I am selling my maisonette in Aldersgate and the estate agent has just text me to warn that the purchasers are swapping solicitor. I am told that this is due to the fact that the lender will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. On what basis would a leading lender only work with certain solicitors rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Aldersgate ?
Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.
Mortgage companies attribute this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the cull – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Aldersgate. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Aldersgate - 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.
After months of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Aldersgate. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord 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 LVT to make a decision on the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Aldersgate residence is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72.39 years.
