Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Wombwell conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Wombwell conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Wombwell conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in Wombwell who can give a testimonial? How many lease extensions have they conducted in Wombwell in the last year?

I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Wombwell, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Wombwell with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092

With 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Is planning consent needed to change a house into two flats in Wombwell? This has been carried out to a house adjacent to my house in Wombwell and was ignorant of it happening until after the works were done.

Planning Permission yes. Building Regulations yes.
