My financial adviser has asked me for my Crowle law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have called my local Crowle office but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried speaking to your Crowle property lawyer about this?. Most Crowle conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Crowle. We encountered a snag. The loan offer with TSB expires on 18/11/2025 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 20/11/2025. Is it possible to extend the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to deal with your issue is your conveyancer who will hopefully assess whether they should be discussing with the mortgage company, seller’s solicitors, estate agents or conceivably all parties taking into account the circumstances your conveyancing to date.
I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Crowle. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Crowle and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Crowle conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Crowle conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with two or three firms including non Crowle conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
What are the charges for lease extension conveyancing? What volume of lease extensions have they completed in Crowle in the last twenty four months?
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Crowle, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Crowle with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2092
With just 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
The mortgage broker has recommended their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Crowle - Surely it’s better to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever property lawyer you decide for your Crowle conveyancing. A property lawyer put forward by an estate agent may not necessarily be the best solicitor, they may suggest their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
