I decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Burnage last week. After carefully reading the official terms of business I seeI am on the hook for fees even if the dealdoes not happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Burnage?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that these schemes tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Burnage conveyancing search costs.
Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Burnage even if I’m not purchasing or selling a house, for example if I intend to buy a shop in Burnage with a loan from Clydesdale?

I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Burnage to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services over a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I own a leasehold flat in Burnage. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Burnage who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Burnage conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Burnage, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2009. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Burnage with a long lease are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083
With 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £23,800 and £27,400 as well as legals.
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 without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
Much to my surprise my conveyancing solicitor in Burnage has requested from me proof of ID documents stating that this is part of his obligations as a solicitor on the lender Conveyancing panel. Can this be correct?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Burnage
