Our family lawyer has quoted £1200 for fixed fee conveyancing in Wavertree. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished detached home for £225,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Wavertree?

Just bought a detached house in Wavertree , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Wavertree conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Wavertree is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wavertree is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Wavertree are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wavertree you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wavertree may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I have recently realised that I have 68 years unexpired on my flat in Wavertree. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Wavertree.
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Wavertree, conveyancing formalities finalised October 2002. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Wavertree with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2080
With only 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My wife and I have AIP from Yorkshire Building Society who have advised that they will lend up to £350k. At what point do I need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? Wavertree is where we plan to move to.
You can appoint a solicitor now and ask them to open a file for you. This will kickstart: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s conveyancer to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not instruct your conveyancer to start searches until you receive your valuation report via Yorkshire Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
