When researching online forums for a high-quality solicitor in Eynsham, most post that I should use a CQS assured lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's major lenders. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Building Societies Association (BSA). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Eynsham is one of the numerous areas in England and Wales where there are Accredited solicitors.
We are due to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Eynsham. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent however this should only be done once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Eynsham or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Eynsham.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers located in Eynsham on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Eynsham property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, HSBC are being a right pain. The Eynsham solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Eynsham prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Eynsham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years left on my flat in Eynsham. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order 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 prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Eynsham.
I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Eynsham, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Eynsham with over 90 years remaining are worth £207,000. The ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2081
With 57 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
My lawyers in Eynsham have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
