I have Fifty Six years unexpired on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Milton. Conveyancing solicitors on the Virgin panel can deal with such extensions right?

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Milton but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the lowest Milton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Can you point me to a directory of Coventry BS panel solicitors in Milton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

My offer was accepted on a property in Milton on 1/12/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
We are planning on selling our home in Milton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Milton conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Milton. Having lived in Milton for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Milton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Milton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Milton tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Milton or who has acted in the same development.
