I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Delabole for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Delabole conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Delabole differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Delabole come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Delabole typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Delabole or who has acted in the same development.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Delabole where we see a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Delabole conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchased a split level flat in Delabole, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Delabole with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2082
With just 57 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £28,500 and £33,000 plus costs.
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 in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I am searching for Delabole online conveyancing estimates. Can I be assured that all the Delabole law firms that are identified on your site are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The law firms on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Delabole firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
