I plan on purchasing residence in Enfield Wash. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Enfield Wash conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
You have numerous choices available to you here
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Enfield Wash property lawyer but your lender will need to appoint a property lawyer on their approved list. The net result is additional charges and potential delay.
- Appoint a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to apply to join the mortgage company panel
When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Enfield Wash and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Enfield Wash you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Wash)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Enfield Wash I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Enfield Wash in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
