We are planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Sunningdale who is on the Co-operative solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Sunningdale.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian house in Sunningdale. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Sunningdale and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Sunningdale I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sunningdale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
We are one month into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the estate agent to execute conveyancing in Sunningdale. We are not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
A conveyancer would need to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you need to inform them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer should be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. That should be your first question of the new solicitors.

What makes a Sunningdale lease unmortgageable?
Leasehold conveyancing in Sunningdale is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You could encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Clydesdale all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
I invested in buying a basement flat in Sunningdale, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Sunningdale with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2083
With only 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £22,800 and £26,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
