I am about to exchange buying a property in Temple but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price.

We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Temple conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

Can I be sure that the Temple conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Temple getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Temple. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Temple.

Is it best to appoint a Temple conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the conveyancing but her office is 400kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Temple conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Temple conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Temple ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Temple conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Temple conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I have given up seeking a lease extension in Temple. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Temple conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Temple property is Flat 89 Trinity Court Grays Inn Road in February 2013. the Tribunal found that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 to the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 should be £36,229. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 66.8 years.
