We decided to go with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Bawtry yesterday. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line lawyer offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Bawtry?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that such deals rarely protect you from disbursements such your Bawtry conveyancing search costs.

We are planning on selling our house in Bawtry and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Bawtry conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bawtry. We have lived in Bawtry for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

My uncle has urged me to instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Bawtry. Should I use them?

No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have used the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years remaining on my lease in Bawtry. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Bawtry.

I invested in buying a garden flat in Bawtry, conveyancing having been completed November 1998. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Bawtry with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2081

With only 56 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
