I am buying my first flat in Doncaster benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Doncaster from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Doncaster can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Doncaster levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Doncaster. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Doncaster conveyancing deal. If a duplicate share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic rather than ongoing.

I am the registered owner of a 2 bed flat in Doncaster, conveyancing was carried out in 2003. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Doncaster with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2095

With just 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to have a meeting at the offices of the bank conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Doncaster as it will be easier to pop in to their offices if required.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for the lender undertake all of the work via the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake your Conveyancing Transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. YOu dont have to use a conveyancing solicitor in Doncaster. However you should check if you can still book an appointment to go into appointed conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
