We had selected solicitors locally in Haddenham on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?

I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Haddenham. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.

I bought my apartment on 2 February and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Haddenham expressed confidence that it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Haddenham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Haddenham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Haddenham I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Haddenham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
