Is it the case that all Chilwell conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Chilwell. I have a mortgage agreed with Lloyds. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. 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 Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Chilwell is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Chilwell is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Chilwell are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Chilwell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chilwell may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I would like to sublet my leasehold apartment in Chilwell. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

Some leases for properties in Chilwell do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review 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 inherited a studio flat in Chilwell, conveyancing formalities finalised 8 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Chilwell with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2091

With just 66 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £11,400 and £13,200 plus professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I have been advised by various estate agents that it should take up to two months for Chilwell conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The property information was only sent to my property lawyer last week so does the clock start running now?

You should be pragmatic about timescales. Conveyancing in Chilwell takes on average about two months. This time period is not because property lawyer are slow and purposely delay matters. The level of money involved in buying any property is so high, the purchaser's solicitor having to raise a whole range of enquiries, searches and supplemental checks to protect the purchaser and their lender (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Chilwell involves getting information from various third parties, for example other conveyancing practitioner, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Some of these are well organised. Others are not. Finally, no matter how quickly your conveyancer do their job, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can go ahead until they are.
