Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Branston who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Barnsley Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you are happy to spend time scrutinising quotes you could shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were happy with the legal work the firm offered you couldlive to regret opting for an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to check that the solicitor can also act for Barnsley Building Society.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Branston I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Branston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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 regarding this matter.
