My financial adviser requires my Kingswood solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have tried my local Kingswood branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Kingswood conveyancer . Most Kingswood conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My apartment in Kingswood is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the lawyer need to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale 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 conditions fairly frequently currently.
We are planning to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Kingswood. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this should only be done when the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Kingswood or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Kingswood.
My wife and I buying a terrace house in Kingswood. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal work on the property include enquiries to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Kingswood will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain works need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Kingswood. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My wife and I may need to let out our Kingswood basement flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Kingswood conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Kingswood do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Kingswood, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2004. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Kingswood with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2105
With 80 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
