When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Pwllheli and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Pwllheli you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Pwllheli)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Pwllheli. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Pwllheli conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting.

If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I purchased a garden flat in Pwllheli, conveyancing was carried out November 2000. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Pwllheli with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2096
With only 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
