Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the Narborough conveyancing searches. The solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it won't be significant.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Narborough based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company and check if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Narborough.

About to purchase apartment in Narborough.

As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest solicitors to choose.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Narborough. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Narborough who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Narborough conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from control and although a managing agent is frequently employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Is anyone aware of any major works in the near future that will likely add a premium to the service charges? Plenty Narborough leasehold properties will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the building set on behalf of the management company. Where you acquire the property you will have to meet this amount, normally in instalments throughout the year. This may vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal areas. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a large sum, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire as on occasion it could be prohibitively expensive.
