I am selling my house in Warsash. Does my have to be on the conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the 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 specifications fairly frequently currently.

We expect to receive a AIP from this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do recommend any Warsash solicitors on the conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Warsash solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.

About to purchase house in Warsash. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Warsash is on the conveyancing panel.

My offer was accepted on a property in Warsash on , valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the conveyancing panel. Are entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Warsash. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Warsash - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Please tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will likely increase the maintenance costs? Plenty Warsash leasehold apartments will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building invoiced by the management company. If you purchase the flat you will have to meet this charge, normally periodically accross the year. This could vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant figure, say about £25-£75 but you should to enquire as sometimes it can be many hundreds of pounds. Where a Warsash lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the salability of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most Warsashlease extensions you will be required to have owned the premises for 24 months before you are eligible to carry out a lease extension.
