Willappointing a Fulwood conveyancing practitioner make the ownership transfer smoother?

We were just about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Fulwood. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with Bank of Ireland expires on 30/5/2025 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 3/6/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?

The best person to address this question is your lawyer who will assess whether they should be discussing with the lender, vendor’s lawyers, estate agents or conceivably all three based on the circumstances your house move as of today.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Fulwood?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Fulwood will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Fulwood.

Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Fulwood conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that many banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the lender related work in your house move.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Fulwood. I have stumble upon a site which appears to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Fulwood. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I own a basement flat in Fulwood, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2001. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Fulwood with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087

With only 62 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 plus professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
