We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Kingsdown conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am being told by my lawyer that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kingsdown conveyancing?

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Kingsdown I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingsdown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Kingsdown

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Kingsdown conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Kingsdown. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Kingsdown - 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 inherited a 2 bed flat in Kingsdown, conveyancing was carried out February 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Kingsdown with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2086

With 61 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
