My friend's uncle is a solicitor. I expect that I can be offered preferential fee for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure should I be expecting for conveyancing in Blackpool?
It’s advisable to seek multiple conveyancing estimates. Do use our comparison tool on this page. Whilst prices may be different but the service one can expect are distinct between law firms as is the case with most professions.
IfI was to buy a simple residential housein Blackpool mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Blackpool?
Any savings you would gain would be limited to the Blackpool conveyancing searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors lawyer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it won't be significant.
I am purchasing my first flat in Blackpool with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Last March I purchased a leasehold flat in Blackpool. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I invested in buying a garden flat in Blackpool, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Blackpool with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2086
With just 61 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. 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 based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I'm purchasing a apartment in Blackpool. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
