Hi I was wondering whether someone could assist me in answering the following. I have been gifted a flat and am going to the land registry office to transfer it next week. I know I have to transfer the ownership of the lease with the landlord but just wanted to know whether I have to use a solicitor for this or whether I can type my own. I have all the paperwork from when my son purchased the property and have a copy of the notice that was completed which I could use as a rough guide. Is it a legal requirement to use a conveyancer for this or has anyone been in a similar situation. Thank you in advance

Reply to sale stuck on issueAgree with find a less awkward buyer. However as there is an agent they can answer most questions, they could possibly give an answer on the skylights but may not wish to take on that responsibility.

Reply to sale stuck on issue~If YOU can't even contact the freeholder, then no one can, and you wont be able to sell you flat.
As without the freeholder answering questions on service charges etc - no one will want to buy.

Reply to sale stuck on issueFind a less awkward buyer. (Seriously.) You may need to instriuct a different estate agent though, as your existing one will want his commission with this buyer.

I am thinking of buying a house (in England) which I would let as a small shared house to a pre-formed groups friends on a single joint and several AST.
It is an ex-council house and is subject to the standard restrictive covenant "...not to use the property otherwise than for the...-

I think I've found my answer: in Roberts v Howlett [2002] 1 P&CR 19 letting a house to a pre-formed group of four students was held not to be a breach of an identical covenant. This still appears to be the leading case on this question. If I've missed something, however, I'd be keen to hear it.

(PS I just realised this is more a conveyancing question than a planning question -- any mods around should feel free to move the thread)

Reply to leasehold extension costsI spoke to a solicitor last week and he suggested going down the informal route, said that the extra legal costs for going the formal route would be too high does this sound right?

Hello
I own a property but the title deeds and the mortgage is in my husband's name (I have proof of ownership by way of a Deed of Trust). It is now essential for the title deeds and mortgage to be put into my own sole name. The only way for this to happen is for me to 'purchase' the...-
