We are due to move house in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Wadhurst. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this page.

Subsequently you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Wadhurst or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Wadhurst.

Santander have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Wadhurst has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Santander or the financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Santander will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Wadhurst.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wadhurst is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Wadhurst are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wadhurst you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wadhurst may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Wadhurst 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Wadhurst conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your last Wadhurst conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Wadhurst, conveyancing having been completed in 2007. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?
