I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Priorslee. 95% of the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Priorslee?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Priorslee conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, 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 demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Priorslee.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Priorslee completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Priorslee in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

My fiance and I may need to rent out our Priorslee garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Priorslee conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Priorslee conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain consent 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 permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I purchased a garden flat in Priorslee, conveyancing was carried out October 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Priorslee with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2102
With only 77 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
