On another thread I've suggested trying Swarblaw forum which I've found excellent. It has numerous law forums including one on Company law.

It should be the surveyor rather than the conveyancer who picks up that the property has a dpc.
It is down to the conveyancer to check the planning title, but what he cannot do is guess what changes have been made to a property. If a conveyancer is told, for example, that a property has an extension, he can make the necessary enquiries.

See your other thread for lawcruncher's similar response. Moderator2 the various threads (about 4) should probably be merged.

it would appear that in another court case that unless the lease covenants state what needs to be repaired and maintained ie structural foundations and damp then some work could be seen as improvements and some judge said that the freeholder can not expect to be given back an improvement to the property so if damp proofing is not in the lease it may well be classed as an improvement however I am not convinced about that as damp effects the property foundations of the building.

yes they all come under insurance but they are different issues hence they cant be all posted at once because they come up at different times and now we have another insurance question about running a business which is not allowed and may affect the insurance.
the intention is to get help on different points. Fair enough if all the queries come up at once then they could all be posted as one thread however that has not been the chain of events so far..so hence they have not been posted all at once..

Reply to Viewing Lease before buyingby jp13abkAfter pestering the estate agent, asking people that live in the same block of flats and doing a few online searches, I managed to get answers for most of the questions.
I decided to place an offer subject to contract and, despite it hasn’t been accepted yet, the lease got sent shortly...-

Reply to Recordings and transcriptsOh, the shame of spuds in a garden! Some of my ancestors were farmers or grocers.
I sometimes record things, usually 'phone calls. My position is that my memory is going (73..) and find noting everything difficult, and a recording does help, but always plan for it for my use only.

by Sandy1986I recorded the last shareholders AGM on my phone in my pocket. The meeting was held outside in the carpark of the flats. I didn't tell anybody I was recording but I did it because things that are discussed and agreed at meetings are rarely reflected in the minutes. I didn't check the minutes which I...

Reply to Share of freehold lease extensionby eagle2The longer the lease the better, so if you can obtain a 999 year lease at a peppercorn rent, that is what you should aim for, Gordon is correct, capital gains only apply when you dispose of an asset. The payment which you make now may be added to the original cost. A solicitor or an accountant should...
