I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer as opposed to a high street Burnage conveyancing lawyer?
Burnage is a unique place, where regional knowledge counts for a lot. The laid-back lifestyle has an upside – just not for your conveyancing.

3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Burnage concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Burnage prior to retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to give a loan on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Burnage. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Burnage to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Burnage. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Burnage - 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 own a 2 bed flat in Burnage, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Burnage with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089
With only 63 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £16,200 and £18,600 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional 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.
I am just shy of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Burnage , but I still want to go ahead. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lower deposit. Most property owners will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
