I was referred a solicitor who has quoted £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in New Ferry. I am hoping to sell a newly refurbished detached home for £175,000. This appears overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in New Ferry?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, you mightlive to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer. Remember to enquire the conveyancer can also act for your mortgage company.

My New Ferry conveyancer has discovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach right?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

Last October I purchased a leasehold property in New Ferry. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I inherited a studio flat in New Ferry, conveyancing having been completed June 1996. 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? Similar flats in New Ferry with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2099
You have 74 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I believe he will just be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the solicitor but he is anxious it will hold up the home move. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the house?
The is no need to bring up to date the register providing you have the evidence required to show how the change of name occurred.
Any purchaser’s conveyancer will examine the title information and request evidence to prove the change of name for example marriage certificates.
