I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Powys for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Powys conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Powys I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Powys in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I was recommended by a few property agents in Powys to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Powys conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Powys conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Powys conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:
-
What volume of lease extensions has the firm carried out in Powys in the last twenty four months? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?
I own a leasehold flat in Powys, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Powys with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100
With only 75 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
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 due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Been on the hunt for a conveyancing practitioner for freehold sale conveyancing in Powys. I'm selling, simple no mortgage to discharge, no rush, currently vacant. Got an estimate from a conveyancer for £900 plus VAT which is a tad high given that its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Powys?
Considering it’s a sale only, £450 + VAT is likely to be about the cheapest for a Powys solicitor firm.
