There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Sutton Coldfield but how do I know who's good?

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Sutton Coldfield. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you are for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to choose a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the transaction. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor will need. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Sutton Coldfield solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Sutton Coldfield surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Sutton Coldfield, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2009. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Sutton Coldfield with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2090
With 65 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £13,300 and £15,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
