I decided to go with a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Grahame Park today. After carefully reading the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are liable for charges even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet lawyer who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Grahame Park?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to offset the transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such deals tend not to cover disbursements such as Grahame Park conveyancing search fees.

How up to date is your database of Grahame Park solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel? Do RBS send you an updated list?
Grahame Park conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.
I purchased a semi-detached Georgian house in Grahame Park. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Grahame Park and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Grahame Park I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Grahame Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £250,000 flat in Grahame Park on Thursday in a week.

Having spent years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Grahame Park. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the price.

This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired term was 71.5 years.
