There are lots of conveyancers offering at first sight what seems to be extremely cheap conveyancing in Oxfordshire. You should give due consideration about how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the quality of the conveyancing. Some hide additional charges well inside the terms and conditions. The conveyancers that we list for conveyancing in Oxfordshire will notdo this.
I used Wolstenholmes a few years past for my conveyancing in Oxfordshire. I now require my file but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

I am buying my first flat in Oxfordshire with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Oxfordshire ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Oxfordshire. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Oxfordshire especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Oxfordshire.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Oxfordshire garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Oxfordshire conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Oxfordshire conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Oxfordshire, conveyancing formalities finalised August 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Oxfordshire with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078
You have 53 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as costs.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
