We went with a local firm for our conveyancing in Stoke Bishop yesterday. Reviewing the fine print I noteI am responsible for fees even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Stoke Bishop?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover the cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these promotions generally do not protect you from outlay by way of example Stoke Bishop conveyancing search charges.
The Stoke Bishop conveyancing firm handling our Stoke Bishop conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I own a split level flat in Stoke Bishop, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Stoke Bishop with over 90 years remaining are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2082
With only 57 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
