I hired a high street firm for my conveyancing in Little Burstead recently. Upon checking the official terms of business I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Little Burstead?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that these schemes tend not to protect you from outlay such as Little Burstead conveyancing search expenses.
My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Little Burstead and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Little Burstead. We have lived in Little Burstead for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Little Burstead for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Little Burstead conveyancing specialists.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Little Burstead where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Little Burstead conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease 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. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchaser.
I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Little Burstead, conveyancing formalities finalised January 2011. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Little Burstead with a long lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2100
With only 75 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
