We hired a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Parkstone yesterday. Reviewing the Terms I seeI am responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and select an internet lawyer promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Parkstone?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these promotions rarely cover disbursements by way of example Parkstone conveyancing search charges.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Leeds Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Pre- 2008 most banks had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Parkstone conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Parkstone conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Parkstone is amongst the many areas where the conveyancers we recommend are members of the panel for Leeds Building Society.

I've found a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Parkstone. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Parkstone ?
Most houses in Parkstone are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Parkstone so you should seriously consider looking for a Parkstone conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’sconsent to carry out alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer will advise you fully on all the issues.
I own a 2 bed flat in Parkstone, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Parkstone with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2095
With only 70 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
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 may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
