I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Dartmouth Park. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We see that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Dartmouth Park?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Dartmouth Park.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Dartmouth Park based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company and ask if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Dartmouth Park.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Dartmouth Park. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Dartmouth Park is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Dartmouth Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dartmouth Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dartmouth Park may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I want to let out my leasehold flat in Dartmouth Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Notwithstanding that your last Dartmouth Park conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I am the proprietor of a garden flat in Dartmouth Park. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?
if there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to assess the amount due.
