My previous conveyancer has quoted just over a thousand pound for leasehold conveyancing in Carlton. I am selling a modern property for £200,000. Is this expensive? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Carlton?
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, you mightlive to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. If is important to be sure that the conveyancer can act for your lender.

My husband and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Carlton with a residential mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We would like to retain our Carlton conveyancing practitioner but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Lloyds TSB Bank panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank
I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Carlton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause principally exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
is it true that all Carlton solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Carlton bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Carlton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 left on the lease.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Carlton 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Carlton and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
