I instructed a Felpham based solicitor for our conveyancing in Felpham last week. Going through the small print I seeI am responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing company promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Felpham?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that such offerings tend not to protect you from disbursements by way of example Felpham conveyancing search expenses.
The Felpham conveyancing firm handling our Felpham conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Do I need to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Felpham conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable.

Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Felpham which have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
