Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Ferryhill but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price.

The lawyer being on the UBS conveyancing panel is obliged to advise UBS of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Ferryhill
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Ferryhill conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Ferryhill which have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Ferryhill, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Ferryhill with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2099
With 75 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" 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 in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
