Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Lampton who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Lampton for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Britannia won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Lampton conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Lampton conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Lampton is amongst the many areas where the solicitors we list are are authorised to act for Britannia.
Should our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Lampton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Lampton. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Lampton, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Lampton. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also order an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Fifty years remaining on my lease in Lampton. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. 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 magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to find the freeholder. In some cases a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Lampton.
