Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Twyford costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Twyford and Berkshire usually necessitates extra work compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord concerning the service of appropriate notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.
We are due to move house in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Twyford. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the selling agent but this should only take place when the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Twyford or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Twyford.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Nottingham as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Twyford. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Twyford solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nottingham don't usually require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I am buying a property in Twyford. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Twyford.
I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Twyford for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Twyford conveyancing specialists.

My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Twyford. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. The financial adviser called yesterday to advise that they are not on the Nottingham approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Nottingham appointing their own preferred solicitor.
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact Nottingham to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Nottingham's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Twyford solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another property lawyer into the equation.
