I decided to go with a Conisborough based lawyer for my conveyancing in Conisborough today. Upon checking the terms of engagement I notewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to choose a web based conveyancing company advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Conisborough?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these arrangements rarely protect you from outlay for example Conisborough conveyancing search charges.
My wife and I are buying a house in Conisborough. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Is it the case that all Conisborough CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nationwide, do Conisborough conveyancing practitioners face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Conisborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Conisborough conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Conisborough. Having lived in Conisborough for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 am employed by a busy estate agent office in Conisborough where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Conisborough conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I bought a studio flat in Conisborough, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar properties in Conisborough with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2087
With 61 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
