I was recommended to a conveyancer who has given a fee estimate £1350 for leasehold conveyancing in Abridge. I’m selling a Victorian detached home for £125,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Abridge?
The charges are a tad high. If you are willing to expend time contrasting charges you could shave off some of the cost by perhaps £100 plus VAT.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Abridge I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Abridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
