At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Heswall and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?

Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Heswall you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Heswall)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Heswall is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Heswall are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Heswall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Heswall may determine 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 property.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Heswall

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Heswall conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.

I own a leasehold house in Heswall. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Heswall who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Heswall conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Heswall, conveyancing was carried out 4 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Heswall with a long lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2094

With only 70 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
