Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Kirkwhelpington who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate fees are a tad high. If you you were to look around you could trim some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the conveyancing the firm offered you maylive to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer. If is important to ensure the solicitor can represent Lloyds TSB Bank.

My grandson is buying a newly built flat in Kirkwhelpington with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Kirkwhelpington, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Kirkwhelpington with a long lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085
With just 59 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
