My family lawyer has given a fee calculation of £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Caddington. I’m looking to sell a purpose built property for £250,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Caddington?

I acquired a ground floor flat in Caddington, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Caddington with an extended lease are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2098

With only 72 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of 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 you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

We are willing to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some point we may need to visit the property lawyer's office to sign contracts?

There is no need to physically visit the office of your lawyer, they can post any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers choose to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not essential for conveyancing in Caddington.
