I am buying a property mortgage free in Rishton. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Rishton. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the sale of our £350,000 maisonette in Rishton in 8 days. The management company has quoted £336 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Rishton?

Rishton conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the purchaser’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions most will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Rishton, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Rishton with a long lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2083

With only 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £23,800 and £27,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Rishton. I need to find out if they are listed on the lender's approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

One option is to call the conveyancer and ask them if they are on the bank's approved list. If that does not help get in touch with us and we can make some checks for you. Should the firm not be on the conveyancing panel we can certainly arrange a quality conveyancing solicitor in Rishton on the panel for your lender.
