I chose a local firm for my conveyancing in Cannington recently. Reviewing the Terms I notewe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in Cannington?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset those conveyances that abort. Please beware that such schemes generally do not cover expenses for instance Cannington conveyancing search costs.

How does conveyancing in Cannington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cannington come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Cannington usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cannington or who has acted in the same development.

I own a leasehold flat in Cannington. Conveyancing was finalised in five years ago. I have been told that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too short. Is this correct?
Cannington residential long term leases are for a set period - often ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Cannington were constructed or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years left to run. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To optimize your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also advantages to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is less than 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
