I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Aldersgate solicitor is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?

I have been advised by a few property agents in Aldersgate to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above another?

We don’t give any commission for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I am using a search engine for the phrase on line conveyancing in Aldersgate it reveals numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancer for the sale of my house?

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Aldersgate 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Aldersgate 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 allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Aldersgate conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

Despite our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Aldersgate. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Aldersgate flat is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72.39 years.

I am thinking of instructing an online solicitor rather than a Aldersgate conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?

There are advantages of being able to pop in to a local Aldersgate conveyancing solicitor for example

  • signing papers same day
  • having face-to-face explanations of matters that need explaining
  • the ability to raise concerns if matters need to addressed

When checking estimates, look carefully for hidden extras. Most decent Aldersgate high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Often online companies seem to offer discounted prices, but have burried 'extras' in the in the terms and conditions.
