Me and my husband are buying a ground floor flat in Geddington. My property lawyer has never been on on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to use my Geddington conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to instruct a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you require a mortgage to buy your property. They will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could instruct a Geddington conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, if the solicitor appointed is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Geddington. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Can you help?
You should phone the solicitor and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call Accord Mortgages Ltd who may be able to help.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Geddington. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Geddington who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Geddington conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
