My Conveyancer in Edingale has never been on on the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Bank of Ireland list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Edingale solicitors but Bank of Ireland will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal charges and cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are Bank of Ireland approved.
- Try to convince your Bank of Ireland based solicitor to seek to join the Bank of Ireland panel

Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Edingale.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Edingale I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edingale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Edingale?
Edingale conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not requires the buyer’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to levy a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.
