My partner’s uncle is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I will receive preferential pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs should I be expecting for conveyancing in Yate?
It’s a good idea to look for 3 or more like-for-like conveyancing estimates. Do use our search tool on this site. Whilst prices will be different but the service one can expect differ between solicitors as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

As opposed to twenty years ago, the vast majority mortgage companies no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to provide ID documents and there are still manifest advantages to choosing a locally based ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Yate.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Yate house deals. Is there any truth in this?

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Yate where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Yate conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I inherited a basement flat in Yate, conveyancing having been completed in 2001. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Yate with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2101
With just 76 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide 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 take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I'm purchasing a apartment in Yate. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
