Is it correct that all Leagrave and Chalton CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
Can you point me to a directory of Co-operative panel conveyancers in Leagrave and Chalton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

We had selected conveyancers locally in Leagrave and Chalton on the TSB solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for the legal aspects of the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by TSB?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by TSB but by your Leagrave and Chalton conveyancer. Numerous firms on the TSB panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Leagrave and Chalton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Leagrave and Chalton lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Leagrave and Chalton. Having lived in Leagrave and Chalton for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Leagrave and Chalton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
My partner and I may need to let out our Leagrave and Chalton 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Leagrave and Chalton conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Leagrave and Chalton do not contain subletting altogether – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
I inherited a studio flat in Leagrave and Chalton, conveyancing was carried out in 2007. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Leagrave and Chalton with an extended lease are worth £255,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2098
With just 73 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
