We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Dursley on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Dursley conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
We were going to get a AIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Dursley solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Dursley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Dursley. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I own a leasehold flat in Dursley. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Dursley who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Dursley conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most Dursleylease extensions you would be required to have been the owner of the property for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
