We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Crawcrook and Ryton

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Crawcrook and Ryton conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.

Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold flat in Crawcrook and Ryton. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Crawcrook and Ryton who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

First contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Crawcrook and Ryton conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I purchased a leasehold flat in Crawcrook and Ryton, conveyancing having been completed in 2004. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Crawcrook and Ryton with a long lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086

You have 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,000 and £23,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
