In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold homein Allestree mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Allestree?

Any savings you would make would be limited to the Allestree conveyancing searches. Your conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Allestree?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

My stepmother informed me that in purchasing a property in Allestree there may be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to a property. Is this right?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Allestree. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Allestree.

Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Allestree has been accepted, what happens next?

The property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Barclays or your financial adviser and complete any relevant paperwork. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Allestree.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Allestree and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives protection to business leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Allestree
