AssumingI was to buy a freehold housein Pyle for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Pyle?
Any savings you would gain will be isolated to the Pyle conveyancing searches. Your solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Pyle is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Pyle are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pyle you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pyle may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Pyle where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Pyle conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Pyle, conveyancing formalities finalised August 2012. 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? Corresponding flats in Pyle with an extended lease are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2098
With 72 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should 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.
How and when do I pay the Stamp Duty Land Tax chargeable for my Pyle property purchase?
Your conveyancing practitioner should fill out a Land Transaction Return Form for you during your Pyle conveyancing transaction for you to sign. On completion your conveyancer will submit your Land Transaction Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - assuming they have the funds - discharge any land tax payable on your behalf.
