I was referred a conveyancer who has quoted £1350 for fixed fee conveyancing in Edmonton. I’m looking to sell a Victorian detached home for £125,000. This seems over the top. Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Edmonton?

The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. Where you are happy to invest time comparing charges you could decrease the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, you mightcome to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to be sure that the conveyancer can act for your lender.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Edmonton?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender to ask if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Edmonton.

We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Edmonton on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Edmonton solicitor. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Edmonton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Edmonton conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Nationwide have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Edmonton has been agreed to, what happens next?

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Nationwide or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding forms. Nationwide will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Edmonton.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Edmonton. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Edmonton - 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 have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can I apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Edmonton conveyancing firm to assist?

Where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the price.

An example of a Vesting Order and Purchase of freehold matter before the tribunal for a Edmonton premises is Ground Floor Flat 4A Baronet Road in February 2010. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 23rd December 2008 (case number 8ED064) the Tribunal decided that the price that the Applicant for the freehold interest should pay is £8,689.00 This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 80.01 years.
