At what point does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Bromborough and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Bromborough you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bromborough)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Bromborough. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bromborough lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I bought a ground floor flat in Bromborough, conveyancing was carried out in 2012. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Bromborough with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082
With 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
