I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Ramsbottom off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Ramsbottom conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Ramsbottom conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Ramsbottom conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

    What volume of lease extensions has the firm conducted in Ramsbottom in the last twenty four months? Can they put you in touch with clients in Ramsbottom who can give a testimonial?

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Ramsbottom, conveyancing was carried out in 2005. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Ramsbottom with a long lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2102

With only 77 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
