Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Rossendale. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Rossendale?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Rossendale.

I have been told by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Rossendale?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rossendale building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Rossendale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

The property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I am downsizing from my property. My previous lawyers closed down. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Rossendale if that makes a difference.

The benefit of a local Rossendale conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Rossendale know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were impressed that should trump using an unknown Rossendale conveyancing lawyer just because they are Rossendale based.

I wish to rent out my leasehold flat in Rossendale. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

The lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is not allowed, 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 Rossendale do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
