The solicitor who helped my last purchase has sent a quote for £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Tadcaster. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built house for £250,000. This appears over the top. Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Tadcaster?

Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Tadcaster will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone TSB or your broker and complete any relevant forms. TSB will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. TSB will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Tadcaster.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Tadcaster where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Tadcaster conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. 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.
An alternative approach is 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 buyer.
I purchased a split level flat in Tadcaster, conveyancing having been completed February 2003. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar flats in Tadcaster with an extended lease are worth £170,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2104
With 78 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
