Our intention is to offer value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in Wheatley.

The sellers of the property we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing practitioner in Wheatley who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This form of agreement is not the norm in Wheatley, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that the owner may obtain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.

I have recentlydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Wheatley for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Wheatley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wheatley contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Wheatley usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wheatley or who has acted in the same development.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Wheatley ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Wheatley conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your last Wheatley conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Wheatley, conveyancing having been completed September 2002. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Wheatley with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083

You have 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £22,800 and £26,400 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
