We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Grove Park on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Santander but by your Grove Park property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Grove Park conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for RBS to issue the offer to the property lawyer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS completed the valuation? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I completed on my flat on 5 October and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Grove Park expressed confidence that it will be registered in less than a month. Are transfers in Grove Park uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Grove Park is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Grove Park I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Grove Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
