We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Caversham who is on the HSBC solicitor panel. 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 be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for HSBC . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Caversham.

My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Caversham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Caversham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Caversham. We have lived in Caversham for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Caversham. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure 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 bought a 1st floor flat in Caversham, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2001. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Caversham with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2092

With 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

I have been told by various estate agents that it can take six to eight weeks for Caversham conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The draft contract was only forwarded to my solicitor a couple of days ago so now does it countdown?

There is no definitive time frame for conveyancing in Caversham. Conveyancing is subject to too much unpredictabilities. Caversham conveyancing searches in and of themselves may take some weeks before they are received.
