I have been pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Thurston to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?

We don’t offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Thurston 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Thurston conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Thurston conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.

I inherited a garden flat in Thurston, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2002. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Thurston with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

With only 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
