We had appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Malvern on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further sum for handling the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Malvern solicitor. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Malvern conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Fifty years unexpired on my flat in Malvern. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to try and locate and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Malvern.
