I was referred a lawyer who has given a fee calculation of £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Denton. I’m hoping to sell a modern detached home for £275,000. Is this too much? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Denton?

How does conveyancing in Denton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Denton approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Denton typically acquire the site, 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 Denton or who has acted in the same development.

The benefit of a high street Denton conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Denton know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must surpass using an unknown Denton conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
I own a leasehold flat in Denton. Conveyancing was finished in five years ago. I have heard that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to get too low. What is the reasoning?
Denton domestic long term leases are for a set period - usually ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Denton were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to eighty years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
