I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Bampton. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel 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.
We are buying a newly converted apartment in Bampton with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Bampton conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd says his firm is not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Bampton. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Given that you are now exchanged you should appoint a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will have an associated legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Bampton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?
HSBC must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel lawyer.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Bampton. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Bampton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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 acquired a studio flat in Bampton, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Bampton with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087
With only 62 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
