Some advice if I may. My Wormwood Scrubs lawyer is assuring me that he has toconduct Wormwood Scrubs conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. These Wormwood Scrubs checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wormwood Scrubs conveyancing searches.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Wormwood Scrubs. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Wormwood Scrubs who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Wormwood Scrubs conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the proprietor of a second floor flat in Wormwood Scrubs. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for a lease extension?
