My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Spilsby
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Spilsby conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
There are only Sixty One years left on my lease in Spilsby. I need to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Spilsby.
