In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold housein Yarmouth mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Yarmouth?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Yarmouth conveyancing searches. A property lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it won't be significant.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Yarmouth last July yet the purchaser is whats apping daily complaining that their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion steps specific conveyancing in Yarmouth.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Yarmouth I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Yarmouth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Should I be wary by third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Yarmouth conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest conveyancers to retain. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Yarmouth 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Yarmouth conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Yarmouth do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? Is there a share of the freehold? Can you tell me if there are any major works in the planning that could increase the maintenance fees?
