After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my 3 room flat is to be issued any day now. Are you able to suggest a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Newent?

You have arrived at the wrong place to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Newent. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers seducing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Newent. The optimum result, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you being stung for extras and still not get the service required.

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Newent based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender to explore if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Newent.

My lawyer has informed me that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Newent conveyancing?

The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

The mortgage over my property is with Clydesdale for my property in Newent. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Clydesdale?

You must advise Clydesdale in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Newent 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Newent conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Newent do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.

Is the freehold owned collectively by the leaseholders?
