All auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need.

My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Miles Platting basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Miles Platting conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Miles Platting do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see 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 permission.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Miles Platting, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Miles Platting with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2088
With 64 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £15,200 and £17,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
