I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in East Grinstead. The vast majority the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in East Grinstead?

Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. If timings and cost are primary issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

I have Fifty Six years left on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in East Grinstead. Conveyancing solicitors on the Virgin panel can deal with such extensions right?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition.

My wife and I are purchasing a property in East Grinstead. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I am due to move home in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in East Grinstead. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the property agent but this can only happen when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in East Grinstead or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in East Grinstead.

When it comes to conveyancing in East Grinstead getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in East Grinstead I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in East Grinstead for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Me and my wife accepted an offer on a East Grinstead property left to us ten years ago in 2010. I have over 15 years conveyancing knowledge and, although retired, see no reason not to carry out my own conveyancing. The purchaser's solicitor has informed me that their Lenders will not allow us to do our own conveyancing mandating that the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.

Mortgage requirements to solicitors from all mainstream lenders specify that If the vendor does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached as to whether they are prepared to move forward.
