Reasons to use our Whiston conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 No matter what any other lawyers say it just might be necessary to pop into your lawyer to execute documents. Too many 3rd parties are already with an interest in a homemove without needing to add the postman into the pot.
  • 2 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Whiston is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the high standards of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 3 The Whiston conveyancing firms that are listed are committed to supplying value for money, efficient and transparent conveyancing service to borrowers, sellers and investors in Whiston
  • 4 Using a local Solicitor usually means that you will receive a more personalised service. Online forums bear testimony to the idea that in appointing a large conveyancing firm, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who who progress matters by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 5 Cut price packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these organisations are often located many miles away with little appreciation of the factors that impact property transactions in Whiston

I am purchasing a new build house in Whiston with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Whiston and how can you help?

The 1954 Act provides protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Whiston is one of the many areas of the UK in which our lawyers have offices

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Whiston. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Whiston - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Whiston, conveyancing having been completed November 2007. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Whiston with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

With 59 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
