I plan on acquiring a leasehold flat in Wilton. My Conveyancer is not on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Wilton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a number of options available to you here
- Proceed with your preferred Wilton conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will need to instruct a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with likely interruption.
- Get a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to apply to join the lender panel
Finally the sale completed on my house in Wilton last May yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to say his conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Wilton.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Wilton?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender to determine if they allow a cash alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Wilton.

I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Wilton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wilton conveyancing specialists.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Wilton garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Wilton conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Wilton do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Wilton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

With 64 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £15,200 and £17,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
