When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Marshfield and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Marshfield you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marshfield)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
The Marshfield conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Marshfield have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my previous Marshfield lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.
My wife and I buying a terrace house in Marshfield. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve enquiries to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Marshfield will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Some works call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I bought a split level flat in Marshfield, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Marshfield with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2091
With just 65 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus 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 comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
