Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hinckley

I am in the process of selling my apartment in Hinckley and the estate agent has just telephoned to say that the purchasers are changing their property lawyer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only work with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a major lender only deal with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Hinckley ?

Mortgage companies have always had panels of law firms they are content to work with, but in the past few years big names such as Santander, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for many years.

Lending institutions blame a rise in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to sub-let our Hinckley 1st floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Hinckley conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Hinckley do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.

I acquired a garden flat in Hinckley, 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? Comparable properties in Hinckley with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2087

With 62 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
