We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor says that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

As you are are a cash purchaser you are at free not to have searches conducted although no solicitor would suggest that you don't.

I can't really find anything else in Barnt Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Barnt Green should be the figure that you end up paying.

Am I better off to use a Barnt Green conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can conduct the legal work but they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Barnt Green conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Barnt Green know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job.
