What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Wool?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wool and elsewhere in Dorset is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Wool should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Is it necessary to take out insurance to protect me from financial exposure to chancel repairs when purchasing a house in Wool?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wool to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Wool I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wool for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £350,000 garden flat in Wool next Tuesday. The managing agents has quoted £324 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Wool?
Wool conveyancing on leasehold flats normally necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions the majority will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
I own a split level flat in Wool, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Wool with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2083
With only 58 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £21,900 and £25,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
