Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Woodley who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from . It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for an alternative property lawyer?

Our son is purchasing a newly built flat in Woodley with a home loan from . His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. 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 conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Is it the case that all Woodley solicitor practices on the conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, are being difficult. The Woodley solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Woodley
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Woodley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
There are only 62 years unexpired on my flat in Woodley. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Woodley.
