I am not in a position to travel far from Burnham On Sea. I would like to know the understand why all Burnham On Sea solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a practice needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some have made a decision to limit the size of their panel they permit to act for them. You should note that lenders have no accountability for the quality of advice given by any Burnham On Sea solicitor on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are conflicting assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only carry out a couple of conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel consolidation ask why conveyancing firms should have the right to remain on a lender panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Burnham On Sea 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £400,000 maisonette in Burnham On Sea in 10 days. The management company has quoted £312 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Burnham On Sea?
Burnham On Sea conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally necessitates the purchaser’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
