I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Maidenbower. Almost all the appartments are already occupied. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Maidenbower?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Maidenbower conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Maidenbower.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Maidenbower bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Maidenbower conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
About to purchase house in Maidenbower. 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 Nationwide 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 Maidenbower property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

My wife and I may need to let out our Maidenbower 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Maidenbower conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Maidenbower conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
