In the event thatI was to buy a straightforward propertyin Addlestone for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Addlestone?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the Addlestone conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it will not be significant.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Addlestone I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Addlestone for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Addlestone. I happened to stumble upon a site which appears to be the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Addlestone ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Addlestone conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Addlestone do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
Following months of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Addlestone. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Addlestone conveyancing firm who can help.
