We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Kirkby

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Kirkby conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

My partner and I may need to rent out our Kirkby 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Kirkby conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

The lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Kirkby do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Kirkby, conveyancing having been completed June 2011. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding properties in Kirkby with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2093

With 67 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £10,500 and £12,000 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 extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more 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. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Why do Kirkby conveyancing costs differ for leasehold and freehold properties?

Inevitably there is more work required in leasehold conveyancing. Kirkby has many leasehold properties. There is more paperwork involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
