The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Moss Nook 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Moss Nook and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Moss Nook. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Moss Nook area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Moss Nook. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Moss Nook garden flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Moss Nook conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Moss Nook conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Moss Nook, conveyancing was carried out December 2012. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Moss Nook with an extended lease are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2074

With just 50 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
