I opted for a Frogmore based solicitor for our conveyancing in Frogmore recently. Looking through the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are responsible for fees even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to appoint an internet lawyer who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Frogmore?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such deals tend not to cover outlay such as Frogmore conveyancing search expenses.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Frogmore? Is this really necessary?

Frogmore conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).

Evidence of source of funds is also necessary under the money laundering statutes as lawyers have a duty to check that the money you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase monies where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal behaviour.

I am purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Frogmore who is on the Clydesdale approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

My father has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Frogmore. Should I find my own property lawyer?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Frogmore conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the solicitor that you are contemplating using.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Frogmore conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Frogmore conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you make enquires with several firms including non Frogmore conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:

How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason?

I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Frogmore, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Frogmore with a long lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2105

With just 80 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
