I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Blaby. Almost all the properties are already sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Blaby?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Blaby conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Blaby.

It is rare for properties in Blaby and has limited impact for conveyancing in Blaby but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be conducted.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Blaby basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Blaby conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last Blaby conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
