One will need to instruct a solicitor to deal with the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. You can appoint a Mirfield lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company conveyancing panel additional fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Mirfield conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Mirfield conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with several firms including non Mirfield conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in Mirfield who can give a testimonial? What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Mirfield in the last 12 months?

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Mirfield, conveyancing having been completed 7 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Mirfield with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2077

You have 52 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
