In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

How does conveyancing in Saxmundham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Saxmundham come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Saxmundham tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Saxmundham or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Saxmundham before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on such a house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can investigate further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Saxmundham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My wife and I may need to let out our Saxmundham garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Saxmundham conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

The lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Saxmundham do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
