I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Halifax. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Wigton. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have been advised by a few estate agents in Wigton to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above another?
We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I bought a studio flat in Wigton, conveyancing formalities finalised 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Wigton with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 50
You have 50 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as legals.
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. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
