We wanted to use a property lawyer in Hamworthy for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Platform Home Loans Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Hamworthy conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms regarding their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Hamworthy conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Hamworthy is one of the many locations where the conveyancers showing on our search results are on the panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Hamworthy before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hamworthy. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hamworthy to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Hamworthy. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Hamworthy 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 dictates 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 consent.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Hamworthy - A selection of Queries Prior to buying

    Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this scenario the leaseholders benefit from being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually retained where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders.
