We decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Edingale recently. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and choose a web based lawyer offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Edingale?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract those cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such schemes tend not to cover outlay such as Edingale conveyancing search expenses.
My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Edingale and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Edingale I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Edingale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
