My Solicitor in Charterhouse is not on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel?

My conveyancer has informed me that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Charterhouse?

The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Charterhouse bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Charterhouse conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the solicitor is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Charterhouse. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Charterhouse benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Charterhouse and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives protection to business tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Charterhouse. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Charterhouse are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Charterhouse in which case you should be looking for a Charterhouse conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the freeholder’spermission to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor will advise you fully on all the issues.

I have had difficulty in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Charterhouse. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

if there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Charterhouse flat is Flat 89 Trinity Court Grays Inn Road in February 2013. the Tribunal found that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 to the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 should be £36,229. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 66.8 years.
