We are buying a apartment in Marple. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Is it the case that all Marple solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
About to purchase apartment in Marple. 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 Marple conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Marple ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Marple conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Marple do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot 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.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Marple, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Marple with over 90 years remaining are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082
With only 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
The estate agent has suggested using their lawyer for our conveyancing in Marple - won’t it be easier to just instruct them?
It is worth checking if the selling agent is recommending a conveyancer or introducing to a solicitor. There are plenty of Marple selling agents who recommend two or three Marple conveyancing firms purely based on those lawyers offering a great service.
