You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

Corresponding properties in Totnes with an extended lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2095

With just 70 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. 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.

I am looking for Totnes conveyancing quotes online. Can I be assured that all the Totnes law firms that are listed on your site are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Totnes firm being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
