If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Peasedown St John what would it be?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Peasedown St John conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this can only be done after the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Peasedown St John solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Peasedown St John. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Peasedown St John

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Am I better off to appoint a Peasedown St John conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am buying? An old friend can perform the legal formalities but her office is 300miles away.

The benefit of a local Peasedown St John conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Peasedown St John conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Peasedown St John. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as normal because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I purchased a garden flat in Peasedown St John, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Peasedown St John with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

You have 67 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 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 are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns 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 placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
