Should I go with them or choose a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bishops Lydeard?

What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Bishops Lydeard?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Bishops Lydeard and elsewhere in Somerset is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Bishops Lydeard an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
My house in Bishops Lydeard is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my property lawyer have to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Bishops Lydeard I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bishops Lydeard in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months 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 current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
