My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Dockland Settlement but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Yorkshire BS will not permit this. Should they have been notified?

Your property lawyer that is on a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is required to advise Yorkshire BS of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Dockland Settlement.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Dockland Settlement 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Dockland Settlement conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Dockland Settlement conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

We have reached the end of our tether in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Dockland Settlement. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Dockland Settlement premises is 73 Walerand Road in August 2012. the result of the findings of the Tribunal led to a premium to be paid for the extended lease in respect of Flat 73 in the sum of £10,040. The premium applicable in respect of Flat 85 was £5,710. This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72 years.
