As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Gotham what’s your top tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Gotham
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Gotham or throughout Nottinghamshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, property agent and on occasion a lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Gotham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

My husband and I may need to rent out our Gotham ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Gotham 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?
A small minority of properties in Gotham 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 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 consent.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
