I decided to go with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Mobberley today. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing company promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Mobberley?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise the conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that these schemes rarely cover expenditure for example Mobberley conveyancing search expenses.
Have purchased a a detached house in Mobberley , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Mobberley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Mobberley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Mobberley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Mobberley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Mobberley and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business tenants, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I work for a long established estate agency in Mobberley where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Mobberley conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
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 need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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.
