In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Longford and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Longford is one of the hundreds of areas of the UK in which our lawyers are based
My fiance and I yesterday become aware that one of the directors of the solicitors acting on the purchase conveyancing in Longford is an aunty of the owners that we are purchasing from. Is this allowed?
On the basis that no conflict arises this is permitted. Where you are obtaining mortgage finance then the bank may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions on this. For example for Yorkshire Building Society as of 23/3/2024, the requirements read as follows :
* there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction
* the firm is a partnership
* the conveyancer acting is not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family
