What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Edenbridge?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am aiming to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Edenbridge. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent but this should only take place once the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Edenbridge or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Edenbridge.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Edenbridge bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Edenbridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Edenbridge. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Edenbridge solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to business lessees, giving them the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease.

I have recently realised that I have 72 years remaining on my lease in Edenbridge. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist should be useful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing.

On the whole the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Edenbridge obliged leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger works. Plenty Edenbridge leasehold properties will have a service charge for the upkeep of the block levied on behalf of the freeholder. Where you buy the flat you will have to pay this liability, usually periodically during the year. This may differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, ordinarily this is not a significant figure, say about £25-£75 but you need to check it because sometimes it could be many hundreds of pounds.
