I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Hemsworth solicitor is informing me me that he has toapply for Hemsworth conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hemsworth conveyancing searches.
The Hemsworth conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Hemsworth have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Hemsworth lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Hemsworth 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hemsworth is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hemsworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hemsworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hemsworth 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.

I would like to sublet my leasehold apartment in Hemsworth. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A small minority of properties in Hemsworth do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold 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.

The answer will be important as a) areas may cause problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if maintenance are not paid for b) if the tenants have a dispute with the managing agents you will need to know about it What is the name of the managing agents? Please note if it is less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this will be. For most Hemsworthlease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the property for a couple of years in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension.
