Taking into account that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a house in Droitwich I wish to talk to a solicitor regarding thetransaction prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Droitwich.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Droitwich should be the figure that you end up paying.
I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Droitwich where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Droitwich conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
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 buyer.

Does the lease have onerous restrictions? Who are the managing agents?
My folks are having difficulties in finding their Droitwich property on the HM Land Registry site. They have a vague recollection fifty years ago when they purchased the bungalow there were complications regarding the address not being identified on some systems.
Almost all residences in Droitwich should appear. Have you endevoured to search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will reveal all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
