As someone with no idea as to the Burslem conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Burslem
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Burslem and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, property agent and on occasion a lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Burslem is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I am selling our property in Burslem and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Burslem. Having lived in Burslem for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 ailment)

I only have 72 years remaining on my lease in Burslem. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent would be useful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Burslem.
I purchased a split level flat in Burslem, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
