We chose a local firm for our conveyancing in Filton last week. Reviewing the Terms it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and choose an internet solicitor practice who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Filton?

About to purchase a new build apartment in Filton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Filton

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Filton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Filton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My father has recommend that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Filton. Should I use them?

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Filton. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I own a 1 bedroom flat in Filton, conveyancing was carried out July 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Filton with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2087

With just 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures 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. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
