We went with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Shenley recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for costs even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to use an on-line lawyer advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Shenley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those cases that do not proceed. Please beware that such arrangements tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Shenley conveyancing search expenses.
My relative recommended that if I am purchasing in Shenley I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Shenley conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Shenley around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Shenley Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Shenley Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Shenley.
The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Shenley 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know precisely where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be located, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Shenley where we see a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Shenley conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done 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 purchaser.
We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Shenley. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
Where there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Shenley residence is Ground Floor Maisonette 17 Milton Road in January 2014. The Tribunal determined the premium payable by the Applicant to the should be £13,299 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 71.73 years.
Are Shenley conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to publish clear conveyancing figures?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Shenley or or elsewhere in the country.
