After what seems like an age a mortgage agreement from HSBC for the refinancing of my 2 room flat is expected within the next few days. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Longridge?
This site is not designed to aid those in pursuit of cut-price fees for conveyancing in Longridge. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by companies offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in Longridge. Optimistically, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in extras and still not end up with the service required.
We are downsizing from our property in Longridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Longridge. We have lived in Longridge for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Longridge. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Longridge

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Longridge I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Longridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Longridge from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Longridge can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Longridge state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in advance. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Longridge home move. If a duplicate share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. Some Longridge leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.
