The benefit of a local Llanrhystud conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job.

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

If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Llanrhystud conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Llanrhystud conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in Llanrhystud who can give a testimonial?

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Llanrhystud, conveyancing having been completed April 2011. 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? Similar flats in Llanrhystud with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091

You have 66 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £11,400 and £13,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
