I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Frenchay by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

The normal practice is not to provide notice for your tenancy unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and urge them to they chase the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Frenchay

Two types of professional can do conveyancing in Frenchay namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are required to carry out Frenchay conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that all necessary steps will be suitably taken.

I am aiming to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Frenchay. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent however this can only take place once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Frenchay or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Frenchay.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Frenchay solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that could affect a commercial estate in Frenchay?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Frenchay will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Frenchay. The search result provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Frenchay.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Frenchay it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may result in delays to Frenchay commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Frenchay.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Frenchay to choose a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over and above a competitor’s?

We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Frenchay which have in the region of fifty years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Frenchay, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2004. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Frenchay with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2105

With 80 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 plus 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 renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
