Completed the sale of my flat in Anston last May but my buyer keeps Skype messaging me to say their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor is committed to forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Anston.
We're in Anston, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are buying a property in Anston. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

I am planning to move property in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Anston. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only happen after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Anston or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Anston.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Anston. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Anston - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I bought a split level flat in Anston, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Anston with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2100
You have 75 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered 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 getting professional advice.
