Do I need to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Winscombe conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may suggest solicitors to appoint. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that many lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Winscombe ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Winscombe conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Winscombe do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.

As the owner of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. You should not be afraid to ask other people if they are happy with their management. On a final note, be sure you discover the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the relevant party and precisely how they are spending the funds. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments?
