Having been told to check out your company we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Eccleshall found by you but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet seem less pricey – how come?
There are lots of conveyancing organisations advertising theoretically looks to be very low prices. Our advice is to think twice as to how much you respect your own move to you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish in relation to the quality of the conveyancing. Some embed fees deep into the terms of business. The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Eccleshall will notbehave this way.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Eccleshall. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Eccleshall involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of stalling in Eccleshall house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Eccleshall.
Am I best advised to instruct a Eccleshall conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The benefit of a local Eccleshall conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Eccleshall know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Eccleshall conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Eccleshall where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Eccleshall conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
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. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have 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 prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.
I own a studio flat in Eccleshall, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2002. 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 flats in Eccleshall with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2101
With only 76 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
