As a novice what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Radcliffe on Trent?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Radcliffe on Trent or throughout Nottinghamshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Radcliffe on Trent is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Radcliffe on Trent solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Radcliffe on Trent ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Radcliffe on Trent conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Radcliffe on Trent do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Radcliffe on Trent, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Radcliffe on Trent with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2090
With just 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
