  • 2 The firms shown on our web pages have a variation of conveyancing lawyers, legal executives and support staff handling over one hundred thousand cases each year.
  • 3 Solicitor conveyancing solicitors have extremely good personal links with Raglan estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 4 No matter what any other solicitors advise it just might be necessary to pop into your conveyancer to execute contracts. Too many 3rd parties are already involved in a house sale without needing to include Royal Mail into the equation.
  • 5 Retaining the services of a local Solicitor usually means that you will receive a more personal touch. Online forums often suggest that in choosing a large conveyancing firm, your transaction is handled by a team of people who who progress matters by reading from their computer screens.

Just bought a detached house in Raglan , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Raglan conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Raglan is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Raglan. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Raglan

I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Raglan. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

Notwithstanding that your previous Raglan conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Raglan, conveyancing was carried out 4 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Raglan with an extended lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £23,800 and £27,400 plus 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 a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously 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.
