Me and my fiance are planning to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in Pevensey with a mortgage. We have a Pevensey conveyancer, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or continue with our Pevensey conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Pevensey conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Pevensey with the intention of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Pevensey can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled. A minority of Pevensey leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Arranging a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Pevensey home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible.
I inherited a ground floor flat in Pevensey, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Pevensey with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2085
With just 61 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
