Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Pewsey. Is there a reason why all Pewsey conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

A decade ago most lenders had an approach to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to find the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be used as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing.
