I am expecting a DIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Hethersett solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Hethersett solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
About to purchase house in Hethersett. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hethersett conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we use their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hethersett
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Hethersett conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
I am employed by a busy estate agency in Hethersett where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Hethersett conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the lessees enjoy control and even though a managing agent is frequently retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. The answer will be useful as a) areas can result in problems in the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate if maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will need to have full disclosure Please note that where the lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease.
