We decided to go with a Colyers based firm for my conveyancing in Colyers today. Upon checking the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line conveyancing company offering no move no charge conveyancing in Colyers?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract the transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that these schemes rarely protect you from disbursements for example Colyers conveyancing search charges.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Colyers? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you refuse to supply identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Colyers before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Colyers. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Colyers - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
Having spent years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Colyers. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Colyers premises is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 76 years.
