The conveyancer who assisted with my previous purchase has given a fee calculation of £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Duston. I am looking to sell a purpose built detached home for £175,000. This seems overpriced. Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Duston?

The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you shop around you might trim some of the cost by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, you maycome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer.

I completed on my house on 3 June and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Duston expressed confidence that it would be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Duston particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Duston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Duston. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Duston

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Duston I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Duston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
