Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bedford

The loan agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 2 bedroom apartment is coming within the next few days. Are you able to suggest a low cost conveyancing law firm in Bedford?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking cut-price fees for conveyancing in Bedford. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be seduced by brokers offering low cost conveyancing in Bedford. Optimistically, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service you were looking for.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Bedford conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?

Bedford conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.

I am planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money in certain locations such as Bedford. We dont recommend any particular firm.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in Bedford to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My uncle has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Bedford. Should I find my own solicitor?

No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have used the firm you're contemplating using.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Bedford. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bedford - 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 inherited a leasehold flat in Bedford, conveyancing was carried out March 2006. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Bedford with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2086

With 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £18,100 and £20,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure 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 in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
