When it comes to lenders such as Nationwide, do Uppingham conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee 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 fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
My wife and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Lloyds as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Uppingham. Are we obliged to select a local Uppingham solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Lloyds would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being difficult. The Uppingham solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My wife and I are planning on selling our house in Uppingham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Uppingham. Having lived in Uppingham for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

What makes a Uppingham lease unacceptable for security purposes?
Leasehold conveyancing in Uppingham is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can result in certain sections are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the premises
You could encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the tenants enjoy control and even though a managing agent is often employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Please inform me if there are any major works on the horizon that will likely add a premium to the maintenance charges? Many Uppingham leasehold flats will have a service bill for the upkeep of the block levied on behalf of the management company. If you acquire the flat you will have to meet this amount, usually quarterly throughout the year. This could be anything from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, ordinarily this is not a large amount, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it can be prohibitively expensive.
