I decided to go with a Priorslee based lawyer for our conveyancing in Priorslee yesterday. Looking through the Ts and Cs I notewe are liable for charges even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to appoint an internet solicitor practice promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Priorslee?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to offset those transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that these offerings rarely protect you from outlay e.g. Priorslee conveyancing search costs.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Priorslee last January but the buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Where relevant, your conveyancer must also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Priorslee.

I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Priorslee. 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?
You must advise RBS in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will permit you to let 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 RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel firm.
Coventry BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Priorslee has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Coventry BS or the financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. Coventry BS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Priorslee.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Priorslee I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Priorslee for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Priorslee and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides protection to commercial leaseholders, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Priorslee is one of our hundreds of areas of the UK in which the firms we work with have offices
I’m about to sell my garden flat in Priorslee. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Is there a share of the freehold? Where a Priorslee lease has less than eighty years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the residence for 24 months before you are legally able to extend the lease.
