If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Darley Abbey?

Conveyancing - in Darley Abbey or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to fix the defects before you complete your move.
