We went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Helston yesterday. Going through the terms of engagement I noteI am liable for charges even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing company promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Helston?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract those cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these schemes generally do not cover expenses such as Helston conveyancing search costs.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial estate in Helston?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Helston will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Helston. The report sets out definitive information 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 Helston.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Helston it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can cause delays to Helston commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Helston.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Helston. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Helston and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business leaseholders, giving them the right to apply to court for a new lease and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Helston is one of the many areas of the UK in which our lawyers have offices
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Helston
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Helston conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Helston conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Helston conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Helston conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:
-
If they are not ALEP accredited then why not? What volume of lease extensions has the firm completed in Helston in the last 12 months?
I purchased a leasehold flat in Helston, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Helston with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2097
With only 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
