As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Thorpe Astley?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Thorpe Astley or throughout Leicestershire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Thorpe Astley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Thorpe Astley , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Thorpe Astley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Thorpe Astley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Thorpe Astley
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Thorpe Astley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Thorpe Astley. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Thorpe Astley - 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 invested in buying a studio flat in Thorpe Astley, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Thorpe Astley with a long lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2075
With just 50 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures 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 want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
