I am not in a position to travel far from Shinfield and Arborfield. Is there a reason why all Shinfield and Arborfield property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders purging a number of firms from their books of approved conveyancing practitioners .

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Shinfield and Arborfield with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Shinfield and Arborfield can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. 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 particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy formality and delays many a Shinfield and Arborfield conveyancing deal. Where a reissued share is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Shinfield and Arborfield charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations.
