My mortgage broker says he needs my Malden Rushett law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Malden Rushett office but they cant find it on their system.
You are best placed to get this information from your Malden Rushett conveyancing practitioner . Most Malden Rushett conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Malden Rushett. We encountered a problem. Our mortgage offer with HSBC Bank expires on 26/1/2026 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 28/1/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this question is your lawyer who will hopefully determine whether they should be discussing with the mortgage company, owner’s lawyers, estate agents or possibly all parties given the history of your transaction as of today.
My lawyer in Malden Rushett is not on the Bank of Scotland Solicitor Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Bank of Scotland list of approved lawyers?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Malden Rushett solicitors but Bank of Scotland will need to retain a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal fees and result in frustration.
- Find a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Bank of Scotland approved.
- Try to convince your Bank of Scotland based solicitor to seek to join the Bank of Scotland panel
I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Malden Rushett for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Malden Rushett conveyancing specialists.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Malden Rushett. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Malden Rushett - 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 have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Malden Rushett. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Malden Rushett conveyancing firm who can help.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Malden Rushett on a bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the funds will pass between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s solicitor and currently this can only take place on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
