My partner’s dad is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I can be offered preferential pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon?

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Rawdon and Yeadon. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.

I work for a long established estate agency in Rawdon and Yeadon where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate 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 commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 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 simultaneously with completion of the sale.

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 buyer.
