My partner’s brother is a property lawyer. I hope that I will be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Henbury?

You should contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that amounts seem to contrast greatly but the service one can expect are distinct between property lawyers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Henbury. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Henbury?

You are putting yourself at risk in failing carrying out Henbury conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that your solicitor conducts them. If time pressures and price are primary concerns you should discuss with your conveyancer about the options such as contingency insurance available to you

I have just over seventy years unexpired on my lease and need a lease extension for my apartment in Henbury. Conveyancing solicitors on the Tesco Bank panel can deal with such extensions right?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Tesco Bank have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 30/3/2025 the requirements read as follows :

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Henbury conveyancing lawyers were instructed. How long does it take for Principality to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality conducted the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Henbury lawyer on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Nationwide mortgage has been paid off.

Lloyds have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Henbury has been accepted, what are the next steps?

The estate agent will need to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Contact Lloyds or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Henbury.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Henbury I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Henbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Hoping to buy a property located in Henbury and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Henbury. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Henbury area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
