Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Garston is more expensive?

I am considering applying for a TSB mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Garston with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for TSB ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but TSB will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Garston is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Garston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Garston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Garston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on a house in Garston I would like to talk to a conveyancer regarding theconveyancing ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Garston.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Garston should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
I have recently realised that I have 62 years left on my lease in Garston. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the landlord. For most situations a specialist would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Garston.
