I selected a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Aughton last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or use an internet solicitor practice who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Aughton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset the conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such arrangements generally do not cover outlay by way of example Aughton conveyancing search fees.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Aughton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Aughton
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Aughton to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your lawyers rather than another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
All being well we will complete our sale of a £175,000 apartment in Aughton in six days. The managing agents has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Aughton?
Aughton conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually requires the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions most will be willing to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it exceeds £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
Aughton Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should ask before Purchasing
-
What is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the flat? In the main the cost for major works are not incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Aughton require leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works. Who takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the block?
Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Aughton?
Conveyancing - in Aughton or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you move in.
