The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I purchased my home on 6 February and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Appleton said it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Appleton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Appleton registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Appleton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Appleton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

All being well we will complete the disposal of our £400,000 flat in Appleton next Tuesday. The managing agents has quoted £348 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Appleton?
Appleton conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it exceeds £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.

How many years are left on the lease? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily matters such as the cleanliness of the communal areas. Ask other tenants if they are happy with their management. Finally, find out the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the relevant party and specifically what it includes.
