I am not in a position to travel far from Lanchester. I would like to know the understand why all Lanchester conveyancers aren't included on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most banks displayed an approach to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have subsequently requiredmore data from law firms about their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders required.
I am helping my sister sell her flat in Lanchester. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission the EPC or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates remained a required element of moving property. An energy assessment should be commissioned before the property is advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Lanchester conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local providers
We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Lanchester on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Lanchester conveyancer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Lanchester house deals. Is this right?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Lanchester.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Lanchester. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Lanchester - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I acquired a garden flat in Lanchester, conveyancing was carried out in 2002. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Lanchester with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2086
With 62 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
