I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Frampton Cotterell. The Frampton Cotterell property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

How does conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Frampton Cotterell come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Frampton Cotterell tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell or who has acted in the same development.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Frampton Cotterell basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Frampton Cotterell conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Frampton Cotterell 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 review 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 permission.

I own a 1 bedroom flat in Frampton Cotterell, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. 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 Frampton Cotterell with a long lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2076

With only 52 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Frampton Cotterell. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune from the freeholder. So far we have issued a cheque for £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for answers to queries raised by the buyers solicitor.

Neither you or your lawyer will have any control over the level of the charges for this information however the typical costs for the information for Frampton Cotterell leasehold premises is £380. When it comes to Frampton Cotterell conveyancing transactions it is customary for the vendor to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer such questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates capped charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any statutory time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.
