If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Ryhall what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Ryhall conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Intending to buy a apartment in Ryhall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ryhall solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
I bought my house on 5 April and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ryhall advises it will be concluded inside ten days. Are transfers in Ryhall particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ryhall is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Ryhall where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Ryhall conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start 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 to extend their lease. 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 sale.
An alternative approach is 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.
