We are selling our apartment in Billesdon. Does my conveyancer need to be required to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Billesdon to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would 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 need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Billesdon. I have chance upon a site which appears to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

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?

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Billesdon garden flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Billesdon conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Billesdon do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

I own a 1 bedroom flat in Billesdon, conveyancing having been completed in 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Billesdon with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £22,800 and £26,400 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.

Do I have to pop into the offices of the mortgage company conveyancing panel solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Billesdon so that I can attend their offices when needed.

As opposed to twenty years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon.
