Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Should I be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Shirebrook conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to use. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
My wife and I may need to sub-let our Shirebrook ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Shirebrook conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
The lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Shirebrook do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
