My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Wantage

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Wantage conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Wantage. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Wantage ?

The majority of houses in Wantage are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Wantage in which case you should be shopping around for a Wantage conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your conveyancer will advise you fully on all the issues.

I acquired a split level flat in Wantage, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Wantage with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2094

With 69 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
