Should I be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local East Coker conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend solicitors to choose. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in East Coker. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in East Coker - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I acquired a leasehold flat in East Coker, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in East Coker with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2078

There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
