Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a house in Tadley but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet RBS are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on a RBS approved list is duty bound to inform RBS of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Tadley.

Completed the sale of my flat in Tadley last December but our buyer keeps e-mailing me complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Post completion of your disposal your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Tadley.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Tadley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement primarily exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Tadley solicitor on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Tadley. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?

Your original mortgage agreement with Kent Reliance will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years unexpired on my lease in Tadley. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Tadley.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold.

Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will affect the salability of the apartment. Check with your bank that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for a couple of years in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension.
