I chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Waddon today. After carefully reading the Terms I notewe are liable for fees even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Waddon?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these schemes tend not to cover expenses such as Waddon conveyancing search fees.
We have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (sometimes referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Waddon conveyancing lawyers for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is not likely to obtain injunctive relief to bar the vendor completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in limited scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.
I own a freehold house in Waddon yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Waddon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Waddon but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Waddon which have about fifty years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Waddon. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
I own a two-bedroom flat in Waddon. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the price payable.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Waddon flat is 29 Woodstock Road in April 2014. the Tribunal determined that the premiums to be paid into court in respect of the purchase of the freehold registered at HMLR under Title N0.SY3997 should be £7,217. This case related to 4 flats. The unexpired lease term was 98 years.
