We're in Armthorpe, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Skipton , and our solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

How does conveyancing in Armthorpe differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Armthorpe contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Armthorpe typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Armthorpe or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Armthorpe I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Armthorpe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Armthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on the salability of the house?
Armthorpe conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
