I am not well enough to travel far from Kempshott. I would like to know the understand why all Kempshott conveyancers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
A decade ago most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, banks have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms concerning their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders set.
I am buying a property for cash in Kempshott. I have been living for the last Seventeen years in Kempshott. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Kempshott conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with functional issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kempshott will provide you some helpful guidance in this regard.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Kempshott. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Kempshott, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Kempshott with a long lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085
With 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,000 and £23,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
