I am selling my apartment in Stotfold. Does my property lawyer have to be required to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
I have been told by my conveyancer that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Stotfold?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Stotfold conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore completed the survey? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Stotfold is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Stotfold. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I invested in buying a split level flat in Stotfold, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
Some weeks ago I was told by my mortgage company that their panel lawyers work on no move no fee basis for conveyancing in Stotfold. I had a purchase fall through and now the conveyancers want search fees! They say the fees are seperate!
By offering "no completion no fee" Stotfold conveyancing practices are writing off their fees for any work conducted. We should make it clear that this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme. you will still need to reimburse any costs that your conveyancer has outlayed on your behalf such as Stotfold local authority checks
