We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Ellesmere Port who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Ellesmere Port.
The Ellesmere Port conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Ellesmere Port have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family Ellesmere Port lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to help.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Ellesmere Port is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Ellesmere Port are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ellesmere Port you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ellesmere Port may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Ellesmere Port. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Ellesmere Port - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a garden flat in Ellesmere Port, conveyancing was carried out December 1998. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Ellesmere Port with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2101
With 75 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
I have recently had an offer accepted on a leasehold flat in Ellesmere Port and the estate agent that we are dealing with recommended his lawyer. She quoted £800 including VAT and disbursements. Does this sound expensive?
You should not rely on a single quote. One should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Ellesmere Port. Then select one that you are comfortable with and crucially, is on the approved panel of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
