Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Liss who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. If you are content to invest time comparing prices you might trim some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were content with the assistance the firm provided you couldlive to regret choosing an an untested solicitor. Remember to check that the conveyancer can represent HSBC Bank.

The deeds to our house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Liss 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.
Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a garden flat in Liss I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning theconveyancing prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be doing your conveyancing in Liss.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter reference.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years unexpired on my flat in Liss. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord 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 submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Liss.
