It is unwise to serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your lawyer and request that they cajole the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Abbots Langley. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to determine if these alterations are permitted?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Abbots Langley will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or require the consent of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Are all Abbots Langley Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Santander conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Abbots Langley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Abbots Langley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
