The solicitor who dealt with my previous purchase has sent a quote for £1200 for no completion no fee conveyancing in Sheen Park. I’m selling a modern detached home for £175,000. Is this overpriced? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Sheen Park?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you are content to invest time contrasting quotes you might decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £125. On the other hand, you maylive to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to ensure that the firm can represent your lender.

We are selling our apartment in Sheen Park. Will the property lawyer need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Sheen Park I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sheen Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Sheen Park basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Sheen Park conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Sheen Park do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
I have given up trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Sheen Park. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Me and my husband accepted an offer on a Sheen Park ground floor flat left to us 8 years ago in 2011. I have over 12 years conveyancing experience and, now retired, see no reason not to conduct my own legal work. The buyer's conveyancer has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be released via a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage instructions to conveyancing practitioners from all mainstream lenders specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be reached if they are willing to progress.
