I hired a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Forest Hill today. After carefully reading the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to use a web based solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Forest Hill?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that these schemes generally do not cover expenses by way of example Forest Hill conveyancing search fees.
My conveyancer has informed me that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Forest Hill conveyancing?

Is it the case that all Forest Hill solicitor firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Forest Hill I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Forest Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months 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 term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
