Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Brynford costs more?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Brynford is frequently more expensive when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the supplemental time necessary in dealing with the freeholder and management company to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
My apartment in Brynford is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the property lawyer have to be required to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

I have paid off my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Brynford conveyancer on the Kent Reliance panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Brynford building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Brynford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Brynford took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
