You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ascot or throughout Berkshire is often a confrontational process.

I am expecting a AIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Ascot solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Ascot solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Ascot I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ascot in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

To what extent are Ascot conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to supply clear conveyancing figures?

Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Ascot or or elsewhere in the country.
