I am not in a position to travel far from Moorgate. Can you please explain the reason why all Moorgate lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
A decade ago most lenders demonstrated an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since looked to extract more information from law firms concerning their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders set.
I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Moorgate for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Moorgate conveyancing specialists.

I am using a search engine for the phrase conveyancing in Moorgate it reveals many conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancing solicitor for purchase transaction?
The ideal method of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so ask colleagues and those you trust who have bought a property in Moorgate or a respected estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Moorgate differ, so it's sensible to request a minimum of four costs illustrations from varying types of property lawyers. Make sure that you clarify that the fees are fixed.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years remaining on my lease in Moorgate. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, 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 granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to try and locate and to produce a report to be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Moorgate.
Notwithstanding our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Moorgate. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Moorgate conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Moorgate residence is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 72.39 years.
