I instructed a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Dolwyddelan last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I noteI am responsible for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Should I go with them or instruct an internet lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Dolwyddelan?

My wife and I may need to let out our Dolwyddelan ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Dolwyddelan conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Your lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Dolwyddelan do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.

I inherited a studio flat in Dolwyddelan, conveyancing was carried out 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With just 50 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
