I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Stamford Hill conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Stamford Hill conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property 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 conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Stamford Hill conveyancing searches.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Stamford Hill is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stamford Hill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stamford Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stamford Hill may decide 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 property.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Stamford Hill garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Stamford Hill conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Stamford Hill conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
Having spent years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Stamford Hill. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
