We are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Inkberrow but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Aldermore are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The solicitor being on a Aldermore approved list is required to inform Aldermore of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Inkberrow.

How does conveyancing in Inkberrow differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Inkberrow come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Inkberrow usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Inkberrow or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking at a two apartments in Inkberrow which have about 50 years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Inkberrow is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the value of the premises. For most buyers and lenders, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Inkberrow conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I invested in buying a basement flat in Inkberrow, conveyancing formalities finalised 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Inkberrow with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2090
With 64 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My brother is buying a ground floor flat in Inkberrow. He has received an estimate by the solicitor connected to the selling agents and it came to £1250 . It was fifteen years ago I sold and bought a house and the fee was £495. Have charges really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Inkberrow searches, land registry fees, etc)
