I instructed a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Southborough recently. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Southborough?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to cover the transactions that fail to complete. Please beware that these schemes generally do not protect you from outlay for instance Southborough conveyancing search charges.

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Southborough. The Southborough property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Southborough bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Southborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Southborough has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Lloyds or your broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Southborough.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Southborough is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Southborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Southborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southborough may determine 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 residence.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Southborough and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business tenants, giving them the right to make a request to court for a renewal lease and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
