At long last a loan agreement from HSBC for the refinancing of my single room maisonette is to be issued by the end of next week. Can you recommend a low cost conveyancing solicitor in East Harling?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in East Harling. Our goal is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by companies seducing you with £99 conveyancing in East Harling. At best, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service expected.
My lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in East Harling. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must check that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our East Harling basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a East Harling conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in East Harling do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. 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 purchased a ground floor flat in East Harling, conveyancing formalities finalised 7 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in East Harling with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087
With 62 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
