We went with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Whetstone last week. Going through the fine print I noteI am liable for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line firm promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Whetstone?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those transactions that abort. Also remember that these offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Whetstone conveyancing search expenses.
Having sold my house in Whetstone last July yet the purchaser is Skype messaging daily complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

If applicable, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Whetstone.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Whetstone I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whetstone for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Whetstone garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Whetstone conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Whetstone conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
