What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Maidenbower

We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Maidenbower conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

Is it the case that all Maidenbower CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing panel?

It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.

I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Maidenbower conveyancer on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Maidenbower I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Maidenbower in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
