My father informed me that in buying a property in Peterlee there could be various restrictions prohibiting external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are anumerous of properties in Peterlee which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Peterlee should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

is it true that all Peterlee solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the CLC.

The mortgage over my property is with Aldermore for my property in Peterlee. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Aldermore?

You must advise Aldermore in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of hinderance in Peterlee conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Peterlee.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Peterlee I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Peterlee in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Peterlee and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to provides protection to commercial tenants, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Peterlee
