I decided to go with a local firm for my conveyancing in Rothley last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line conveyancing brokerage promising no move no charge conveyancing in Rothley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these offerings rarely cover expenses e.g. Rothley conveyancing search costs.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Rothley 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
How does conveyancing in Rothley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Rothley approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Rothley tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Rothley or who has acted in the same development.

There are only 68 years remaining on my flat in Rothley. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. For most situations a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Rothley.

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 without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
