My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Caversham with a mortgage from Barclays .We like our Caversham conveyancing practitioner but Barclays says her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barclays panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Barclays approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 Barclays
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Caversham I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Caversham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension 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 concerning this.

Completion is due on our sale of a £200,000 maisonette in Caversham next week. The landlords agents has quoted £300 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Caversham?
Caversham conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it exceeds £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
