Me and my husband are acquiring a maisonette in Turnpike Lane. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Can I still retain my Turnpike Lane conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One may select a Turnpike Lane solicitor of your choice. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the bank approved list further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they should do so.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Turnpike Lane
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Turnpike Lane conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Turnpike Lane. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Turnpike Lane - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
