Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wallasey

After what seems like an age a loan agreement from HSBC for the remortgage of my single bedroom apartment is coming by the end of next week. Are you able to suggest a cheap conveyancing law firm in Wallasey?

You have arrived at the wrong site to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Wallasey. Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations offering ninety nine pound conveyancing in Wallasey. At best, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were looking for.

What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Nottingham Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wallasey?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common cause of obstruction in Wallasey house deals. Is this right?

I am purchasing my first flat in Wallasey with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

I have recently realised that I have 62 years unexpired on my flat in Wallasey. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Wallasey.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Wallasey, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Wallasey with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2102

With just 77 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £7,600 and £8,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
