I opted for a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Aspley Guise last week. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or choose an on-line solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Aspley Guise?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those transactions that abort. Please beware that such schemes generally do not cover disbursements by way of example Aspley Guise conveyancing search costs.

I have recently realised that I have 72 years unexpired on my lease in Aspley Guise. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist should be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Aspley Guise.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Aspley Guise, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Aspley Guise with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2081
With only 56 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
There are a number of houses in Aspley Guise on unadopted lanes. I am purchasing such a property. What are the pros and cons of purchasing a residence on a privately owned road?
Aspley Guise conveyancing practices are well versed in transacting homeson private. The solicitor should investigate title to identify any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that proprietors pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and appear better than publicly maintained.
