If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Harbury what would it be?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Harbury conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Harbury. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to determine if these works were previously refused?

Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Harbury can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain works or need the consent of another owner. Many works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Harbury building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Harbury conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your property lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Harbury. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Harbury who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Harbury conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Harbury, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Harbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2090

With only 65 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
