I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Chellaston. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the conveyancing panel. Can you help?

The first thing to do is contact the conveyancer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should get in touch with who may be able to help.

I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Chellaston for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Chellaston conveyancing specialists.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Chellaston

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Chellaston conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

I own a 1st floor flat in Chellaston, conveyancing having been completed in 1995. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

You have 50 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

We are hoping to purchase a repression property in Chellaston and the bank selling require completion within a month. Can a complete in this timeframe? Am I best advised to select a local Chellaston firm or an online firm that advertises to offer speedy conveyancing?
