We were just about to sign contracts for a property in Astley. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd expires on 16/6/2025 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 18/6/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?

The best person to address this question is your lawyer who will hopefully assess if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, vendor’s representatives, selling agents or indeed all parties given the circumstances your house move as of today.

We are looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Astley who is on the Principality solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Principality . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Astley.

What does a local search tell me regarding the property I am purchasing in Astley?

Astley conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for instance Xpress Legal The local search plays a central part in most Astley conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject headings.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Astley before retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Astley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Astley especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Astley.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Astley conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Astley conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you speak with several firms including non Astley conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:

    How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation? How many lease extensions have they conducted in Astley in the last year?

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Astley, conveyancing having been completed 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? Corresponding flats in Astley with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087

You have 62 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should 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 clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
