We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Epworth
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Epworth conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Epworth. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Epworth - 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.
