I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer rather than a local Lansbury conveyancing solicitor?
On the whole conveyancing practitioners in your location will benefit from strong connections with your local authority, which could help with the Lansbury conveyancing searches that your lawyer will require. It also helps if they have good rapport with the Land Registry overseeing your area Lansbury, other lawyers in the location and Lansbury Estate Agents.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Lansbury. Conveyancing and mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Lansbury who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Lansbury conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Lansbury, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With only 50 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
