We are due to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Rawdon. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this should only be done when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rawdon is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Rawdon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rawdon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rawdon may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I want to let out my leasehold flat in Rawdon. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

Notwithstanding that your previous Rawdon conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Rawdon, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Rawdon with a long lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2088

With just 63 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
