My friend's brother is a conveyancing practitioner. I suspect that I will be offered friends and family rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Whitwick?
Do contrast pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. Whilst charges seem to contrast greatly but the service one can expect are distinct between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
I am buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Whitwick who is on the Barclays Direct approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

We are selling our property in Whitwick and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Whitwick conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitwick. Having lived in Whitwick for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Whitwick. I have chance upon a web site which seems to have the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Last May I purchased a leasehold property in Whitwick. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Whitwick, conveyancing having been completed March 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Whitwick with a long lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2096
With only 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I am an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a house in Whitwick which is to be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at HMLR and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is completed before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
