My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Markfield

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Markfield conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Markfield. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Markfield, conveyancing having been completed January 1999. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Markfield with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2088

With just 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
