Is the fact that my solicitor in Coxhoe is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Coxhoe conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I purchased my apartment on 5 February and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Coxhoe advises it should be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Coxhoe particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Coxhoe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial offices in Coxhoe and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Coxhoe
Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Coxhoe garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Coxhoe conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Coxhoe 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 suggests 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.
