It is is a decade since I bought my house in tipton. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in tipton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do tipton conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my tipton building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My tipton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
About to purchase house in tipton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the tipton conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in tipton
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred tipton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in tipton where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local tipton conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
