As someone not used to conveyancing in Shawbury what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Shawbury
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Shawbury and elsewhere in Shropshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Shawbury is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Shawbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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.

I am looking at a two flats in Shawbury both have approximately forty five years left on the leases. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Shawbury is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and mortgage companies, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Shawbury conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I own a 1st floor flat in Shawbury, conveyancing formalities finalised 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?

You have 75 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations.
