I am acquiring property in Crews Hill. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Can I still retain my Crews Hill conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel?
You will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a mortgage to buy your property. They will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could instruct a Crews Hill lawyer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should do so.

The person best placed to address this question is your lawyer who should determine if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage company, vendor’s conveyancers, estate agents or possibly all parties taking into account the history of your transaction as of today.

I would like to rent out my leasehold flat in Crews Hill. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Crews Hill do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. 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 permission.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Crews Hill conveyancing firm to help?
if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Crews Hill property is 23 Beaconsfield Road in July 2013. The Tribunals decided that the amount payable was £31,203 for the freehold. This case affected 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 70.31 years.
