Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Moreton who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. If you are willing to spend time comparing prices you might decrease the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Moreton both have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Moreton, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2012. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Moreton with a long lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2082

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.

I am purchasing a flat mortgage free. My solicitor has been given with two separate proof of photographic identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are in place and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake DVD.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Moreton conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers.
