My previous lawyer has quoted £1200 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle. I’m selling a modern property for £225,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle?
The charges are a tad high. If you shop around you could trim some of the cost by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldlive to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer.

The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Oswaldtwistle. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Oswaldtwistle I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Oswaldtwistle for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
