I have been recommended by a few selling agents in Ryhope to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Ryhope conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Ryhope conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Ryhope conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus.

    What are the legal fees for lease extension conveyancing?

I inherited a leasehold flat in Ryhope, conveyancing was carried out January 1995. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Ryhope with an extended lease are worth £221,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2096

With just 70 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. 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. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My husband and I intend to buy our first home in Ryhope. Conveyancing solicitor has been appointed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not necessary as the property was only constructed in 2001.

You would be well advised to take a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was constructed more than a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent problems and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
