I am purchasing a flat in Maulden. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Can I still retain my Maulden conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?
One must have a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you need a loan to purchase your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could select a Maulden conveyancer of your choosing. However, if the lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
I am helping my sister sell her flat in Maulden. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory part of selling a house. An EPC needs to be to hand in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Maulden conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local accredited person
I just bought a property at auction in Maulden. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Now that you are for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must appoint a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are faced with a pending a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being problematic. The Maulden solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My father-in-law has suggested that I appoint his conveyancers in Maulden. Should I find my own conveyancer?
No doubt the ideal way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor you're considering.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Maulden ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Maulden conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Maulden do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
