Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Hawkhurst conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the main cause of stalling in Hawkhurst conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hawkhurst is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hawkhurst you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hawkhurst may ascertain 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 premises.

The best method of seeking a suitable conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so enquire of colleagues and family who have purchased a property in Hawkhurst or the local estate agent or financial adviser. Charges for conveyancing in Hawkhurst differ, so it's advisable to request a minimum of three fee estimates from different solicitors. Make sure that you know that the fees are fixed.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold apartment in Hawkhurst. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

Notwithstanding that your last Hawkhurst conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Hawkhurst, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Hawkhurst with a long lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2082

You have 60 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
