How up to date is your database of Carbis Bay solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Do Kent Reliance send you an updated list?
Carbis Bay conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Kent Reliance directly.
we are a couple who decided to purchase a newbuild flat in Carbis Bay with a residential mortgage from Britannia.We have a Carbis Bay conveyancing practitioner but Britannia informed us his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Britannia panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Britannia panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Britannia conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years left on my lease in Carbis Bay. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, 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 granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to try and locate and to produce a report to be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Carbis Bay.
