I am in need of a conveyancer. Should I go for for a web based conveyancer or a local Pitstone conveyancing solicitor?
Pitstone is a unique place, where regional knowledge helps. The relaxed pace of life has an upside – but not for your house move. The conveyancers that we recommend display exhaustive Pitstone know how with a positive, hands-onattitude that ensures everything runs smoothly. It is a definite plus that they enjoy well established connections with financial advisers, search providers, valuers and counterpart Pitstone conveyancing firms
We have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of arrangement is not the norm in Pitstone, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may gain by breaching the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

I have just started marketing my basement flat in Pitstone. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual as all rents and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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 invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Pitstone, conveyancing having been completed September 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Pitstone with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2088
With 63 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 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 cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

We have used the different rating tools and the fee estimates are from all across the England and Wales. Is it necessary to have a Pitstone property lawyer local to your prospective house? We are content to do all the communicating over the web, but I assume at some stage we will need to attend the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign papers?
The conveyancing practitioner does not have to be in Pitstone, but choosing local means that you have the option to attend their offices if required, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. In addition, a Pitstone solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local lawyer) with them, which should help smooth the process.
