I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Allestree. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a compulsory element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Allestree conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local assessors
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from TSB as we intend to conduct alterations to our house in Allestree. Do we need to select a high street Allestree solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
TSB don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I am expecting a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Allestree solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Allestree solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for hinderance in Allestree house deals. Is that correct?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Allestree is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Allestree are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Allestree you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Allestree may decide 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 premises.
My partner and I may need to let out our Allestree basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Allestree conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Allestree do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Allestree, conveyancing formalities finalised 7 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Allestree with a long lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2077
With just 51 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
