I can't travel far from Gallows Corner. Is there a reason why all Gallows Corner solicitors are not on all mortgage company panels?

Banks ordinarily restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks made a decision to reduce the size of their panel they use to act for them. You should note that lenders have no accountability for the standard of service supplied by any Gallows Corner property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are differing points of view about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact a couple of conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

I have recently realised that I have 62 years left on my flat in Gallows Corner. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Gallows Corner.
