Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

Do I need to be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Goffs Oak conveyancing firm?

As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. You need to be aware that many banks have an approved list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years remaining on my lease in Goffs Oak. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located.

I acquired a studio flat in Goffs Oak, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Goffs Oak with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090

With only 66 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £11,400 and £13,200 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 a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered 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.
