We had instructed conveyancers located in Ashton on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further sum for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by TSB but by your Ashton conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Ashton off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with RBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Ashton. My mortgage broker suggested a solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Ashton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Some leases for properties in Ashton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Ashton, conveyancing was carried out in 2000. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Ashton with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090

You have 65 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
