I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Chapeltown. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Chapeltown. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Chapeltown relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Chapeltown. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Your lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Chapeltown do not prevent subletting altogether – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.

Can you tell me if there are any major works in the near future that could add a premium to the maintenance costs? It would be prudent to find out as much as possible regarding the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters such as the upkeep of the communal areas. Enquire of other tenants whether they are happy with their management. Finally, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the appropriate party and precisely how they are spending the funds. How much is the ground rent and service charge?
