I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Whalley. The vast majority the appartments have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Whalley?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Whalley conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to switch to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Whalley.

I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Whalley but what is your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Whalley
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Whalley conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Whalley can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or need the consent of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We were going to get a AIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Whalley solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Whalley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Whalley conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

I own a 1st floor flat in Whalley, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2008. 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 properties in Whalley with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082
With 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £26,600 and £30,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
