Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Brook Green who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?

I am buying my first flat in Brook Green with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I can't really find anything else in Brook Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
