My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’.

Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Cottesmore conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Cottesmore basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Cottesmore conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Cottesmore do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Cottesmore, conveyancing was carried out December 2010. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Cottesmore with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101

You have 75 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

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 without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
