What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Reddish?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Reddish or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Reddish should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Reddish. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years remaining on my flat in Reddish. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be useful to carry out a search and prepare a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Reddish.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Reddish, conveyancing formalities finalised August 1996. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Reddish with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2090

With 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
