We are buying a newly built flat in Darton and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I have no desire to prolong the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Darton and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Darton you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Darton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but live in Darton. My solicitor (based 300 miles awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Darton to attest and place their company stamp on the document?

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years unexpired on my flat in Darton. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. In some cases a specialist may be useful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Darton.
I acquired a split level flat in Darton, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Darton with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With 76 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
