We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Ramsgate for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Ramsgate conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Ramsgate conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Ramsgate is one of the thousands of areas where the conveyancers showing on our search results are are approved Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Ramsgate what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Ramsgate conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ramsgate is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

What makes a Ramsgate lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Ramsgate. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Insurance obligations
You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Chelsea Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
I bought a split level flat in Ramsgate, conveyancing was carried out in 2002. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Ramsgate with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2090
With just 64 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £15,200 and £17,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Ramsgate.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual because all rents and service invoices should be allottedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
