We are buying a new build flat in Walton Le Dale and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Walton Le Dale concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Should I be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Walton Le Dale conveyancing company?

As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest lawyers to choose. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most lenders have an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £250,000 flat in Walton Le Dale next week. The landlords agents has quoted £420 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Walton Le Dale?

Walton Le Dale conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally requires the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.

I acquired a ground floor flat in Walton Le Dale, conveyancing having been completed April 2008. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Walton Le Dale with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2101

With just 76 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

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 in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
