Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aintree

We are looking to buy a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Aintree who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Aintree.

I bought my house on 2 February and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Aintree said it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Aintree uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Aintree registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Aintree I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Aintree in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Aintree

It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Aintree conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.

We expect to complete our sale of a £350,000 maisonette in Aintree next Friday. The managing agents has quoted £408 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Aintree?

Aintree conveyancing on leasehold flats typically results in fees being invoiced by freeholders :

    Completing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Aintree Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Aintree leasehold property is £350. For Aintree conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.

I invested in buying a studio flat in Aintree, conveyancing formalities finalised July 2004. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Aintree with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2094

You have 70 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
