I can't travel far from Forest Hall. I would like to know the logic why all Forest Hall lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Banks tend to impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that a organisation needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some building societies made a decision to reduce the number of firms they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that banks have no liability for the standard of conveyancing provided by any Forest Hall conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are opposing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms deserve the right to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Forest Hall. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
The first thing to do is e-mail the lawyer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you can call Santander who may be able to assist.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Forest Hall concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 premises 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Forest Hall prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a loan on such a property.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Forest Hall and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial tenants, giving them the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Forest Hall
