We see that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Kempsey?

We're in Kempsey, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Leeds Building Society , and our solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are purchasing a property and the solicitor has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly warranted for conveyancing in Kempsey
Unless a previous purchase of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Kempsey to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kempsey ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to grant a loan on this type of home.

Are there frequently found defects that you witness in leases for Kempsey properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Kempsey. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Leeds Building Society, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
I purchased a garden flat in Kempsey, conveyancing having been completed in 1997. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Kempsey with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2078
With 52 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
