It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Kingswinford. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Kingswinford involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford who is on the Barnsley Building Society solicitor. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of hinderance in Kingswinford house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Kingswinford.
Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Kingswinford I wish to talk to a solicitor concerning thehouse move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Kingswinford should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Kingswinford. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Kingswinford - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I acquired a split level flat in Kingswinford, conveyancing formalities finalised December 1997. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Kingswinford with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2078
You have 53 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
