Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Brewood who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Clydesdale. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for a cheaper online conveyancer?

It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Brewood I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brewood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer 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 2 years you could 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
