My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Aldermore as we intend to carry out renovations to our property in Wiveliscombe. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Wiveliscombe solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Aldermore don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Wiveliscombe before retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wiveliscombe.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Wiveliscombe both have about fifty years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I own a leasehold flat in Wiveliscombe, conveyancing having been completed 7 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Wiveliscombe with over 90 years remaining are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2083

You have 57 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as costs.

The figure 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 without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My wife and I have today had an offer accepted on our first house in Wiveliscombe, and are now looking to get solicitors instructed. We have utilised the numerous rating tools and the quotes are from all across the the UK. Is it critical to have a Wiveliscombe lawyer local to our potential house? We are willing to do all the communicating over email, but I am thinking at some stage we may need to attend the lawyer's office to sign contracts?

Usually there is no requirement to physically visit the office of your solicitor, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers prefer to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in Wiveliscombe.
