I am buying a property mortgage free in High Peak. I have resided for the last 20 years in High Peak. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the High Peak conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in High Peak should provide you some sensible guidance here.

My offer was accepted on a property in High Peak on 21/1/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

I purchased a terraced Victorian house in High Peak. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Chelsea Building Society to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in High Peak and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our High Peak 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a High Peak conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in High Peak do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
