Having spent time looking at moneysavingexpert.com for an affordable solicitor in Marsden, most post that I should use a CQS accredited solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's biggest mortgage companies. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Legal Ombudsman. The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Marsden is one of the numerous areas of the UK where there are Accredited solicitors.
How does conveyancing in Marsden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Marsden approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Marsden typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Marsden or who has acted in the same development.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Marsden. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I bought a garden flat in Marsden, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Marsden with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2096
With just 72 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The figure 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 comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I am hoping to sell a garage which is on a separate legal title at HMLR and hope to get 22k, to clear debts. There is a mortgage with Barclays. Please can you recommend an inexpensive conveyancing practitioner as the usual £500-600 eats in the return somewhat. Although I live in Marsden I dont have to appoint a Marsden property lawyer.
