I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bawtry. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
We are downsizing from our property in Bawtry and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Bawtry conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bawtry. We have lived in Bawtry for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bawtry is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bawtry are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bawtry you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bawtry may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Bawtry. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bawtry - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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 am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Bawtry, conveyancing was carried out April 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Bawtry with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2101
With only 76 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
