My partner’s sister is a solicitor. I hope that I can be offered mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Hopton?
It’s a good idea to get two or three conveyancing quotes. Make use of our search tool on this site. Whilst fees seem to vary but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is true with most professions.
The vendors of the house we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in Hopton who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of contract is unusual in Hopton, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that the owner may secure by breaching the contract, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.

I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Hopton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

I would like to rent out my leasehold apartment in Hopton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your last Hopton conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Hopton, conveyancing formalities finalised 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? Equivalent flats in Hopton with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2093
With just 68 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other 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 getting professional advice.
