What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Anston
Two types of professional can perform conveyancing in Anston namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the sale or acquisition of property.

I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Anston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this provision is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Anston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Anston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Anston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Anston may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Anston, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Anston with an extended lease are worth £196,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2088
With just 64 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £15,200 and £17,600 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. 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 based on this information before getting professional advice.
