I have been pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Liphook to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of another?

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Liphook conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Liphook conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Liphook conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

    How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation? What volume of lease extensions has the firm completed in Liphook in the last twenty four months?

I purchased a basement flat in Liphook, conveyancing was carried out 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Liphook with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082

With just 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus 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 a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
