Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Duffield

I went with a Duffield based lawyer for our conveyancing in Duffield last week. Going through the Ts and Cs I seeI am liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and select an on-line firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Duffield?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract the conveyances that abort. You should be mindful that these schemes tend not to protect you from expenditure for instance Duffield conveyancing search expenses.

We know of a few auction solicitors we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Duffield is just one of hundreds of locations in which our lawyers have offices.

Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to list solicitors on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Duffield?

How does conveyancing in Duffield differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Duffield contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Duffield typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Duffield or who has acted in the same development.

How simple is it to transfer to a new firm as I need to appoint one who is on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. I hired a family conveyancing solicitor in Duffield round the corner but he is not accepted by The Royal Bank of Scotland

We will our best to assist in finding you a conveyancing solicitor in Duffield on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel.

In utilising the find a conveyancing solicitor tool on this website, you can compare fees for conveyancing solicitors in Duffield and throughout England and Wales.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Duffield where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Duffield conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Duffield, conveyancing having been completed September 1998. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Duffield with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078

With 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other 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 placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
