Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Consett 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Completion is due on the disposal of our £450,000 apartment in Consett in just under a week. The managing agents has quoted £384 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Consett?
Consett conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions the majority will be content to assist. They may invoice a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Me and my partner are about to complete buying a house in Consett but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet my lender will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
The lawyer being on a lender approved list is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the purchase figure. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would need to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the mortgage company.
