How does conveyancing in Anlaby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Anlaby contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Anlaby tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Anlaby or who has acted in the same development.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Anlaby conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

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

What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Anlaby in the last 12 months? Can they put you in touch with clients in Anlaby who can give a testimonial?

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Anlaby, conveyancing was carried out in 2005. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Anlaby with over 90 years remaining are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2074

You have 51 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending 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 are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

My cousin is purchasing a shared ownership flat in Anlaby. He has received an estimate by the lawyer connected to the selling agents and it came to £1385 . It was 9 years ago I sold and purchased a property and the bill was £just under six hundred pounds. Have charges really increased to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Anlaby searches, land registry fees, etc)
