I am buying a house for cash in Enderby. I have lived for the last 20 years in Enderby. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Enderby conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your future buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Enderby should provide you some sensible guidance here.
My grandfather passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Enderby. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Nationwide, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Where you plan to re-mortgage then Nationwide will require that you use a conveyancer on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Nationwide mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Enderby. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Enderby - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I acquired a split level flat in Enderby, conveyancing having been completed September 2006. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?

With only 57 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should 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.
We are in the throes of a leasehold sale of a flat in Enderby. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the freeholder. So far we have forked out £250 for a leasehold management information and then a further £134.40 for additional questions raised by the buyers conveyancer.
Neither you or your lawyer will have any say over the extent of the fee for this information but the typical fee for the information for Enderby leasehold premises is £355. When it comes to Enderby conveyancing sales it is customary for the seller to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that mandates set fees for administrative tasks. Neither is there any prescriptive time limit by which they are duty bound to supply answers.
