Me and my fiancee are acquiring our first house. The solicitor has contact usto ask if we would like to order additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's relevant for conveyancing in Kearsley
The scope of Kearsley conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your overall approach to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information each search could give you. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that information. If in doubt, ask your conveyancing practitioner to guide you.

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial estate in Kearsley?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Kearsley will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Kearsley. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Kearsley.

These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Kearsley.
I work for a busy estate agent office in Kearsley where we have witnessed a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Kearsley conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I inherited a split level flat in Kearsley, conveyancing having been completed May 1998. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Kearsley with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2100
With only 75 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
