This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Crook Log. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Crook Log?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Crook Log. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Coventry BS, do Crook Log conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Crook Log. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Crook Log property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Crook Log before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on this type of property.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Crook Log and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial lessees, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal lease and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Crook Log

I wish to rent out my leasehold apartment in Crook Log. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your previous Crook Log conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek consent from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
