Having spent time reviewing moneysavingexpert.com for a cheap lawyer in Glossop, many say that I must use a CQS accredited solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?
Glossop Conveyancing Quality Scheme practices have obtained accreditation under the Law Society's Scheme (CQS) The Law Society introduced CQS to establish evidence of quality standards in the home moving process. CQS enables consumers to recognise solicitor firms that provide a quality residential conveyancing. Glossop is one of the many areas in England and Wales in which CQS are based. The scheme obliges law firms to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, random audits and annual reviews in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Legal Ombudsman.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Glossop. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Glossop and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Glossop where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Glossop conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 inherited a basement flat in Glossop, conveyancing was carried out in 2001. 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? Corresponding flats in Glossop with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2094
You have 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Our conveyancing in Glossop is completing on Friday, yet the people I am buying from has asked to move out 24 hours later at noon. Do I accept this?
In situations where you need a bank loan then your conveyancing practitioner will require that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lender will compel it.
