We're in Low Moor, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Low Moor conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Low Moor conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you speak with two or three firms including non Low Moor conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:

How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Low Moor, conveyancing formalities finalised December 2007. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Low Moor with a long lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2095

With only 70 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus 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 advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

I am thinking of appointing a web based solicitor as opposed to a Low Moor conveyancing firm. Am I making a mistake?

There are advantages of being able to visit a local Low Moor conveyancing solicitor such as

• signing documents and and when necessary
• having one on one explanations of matters that you need help with
• the ability to raise concerns if things go pear-shaped

When analysing estimates, look carefully for hidden extras. The majority decent Low Moor high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Often online agents appear to offer low cost fees, yet have burried 'extras' in the small print.
