Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Nuthall who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from National Westminster Bank. It looks as though am now being charged double. Should I hunt for a cheaper online conveyancer?

The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you are happy to spend time scrutinising prices you could reduce the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the service the firm gave you mightlive to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure the solicitor can represent National Westminster Bank.

The owners have very brash sellers who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?

There are a couple of main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (occasionally known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could turn out to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Nuthall conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is very unlikely to be granted injunctive relief to prohibit the vendor disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of penalties.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Nuthall what are the most common lease problems?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Nuthall. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and Britannia all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Nuthall, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?
