The solicitor who dealt with my last purchase has given a fee calculation of £1200 for no move no fee conveyancing in Hythe. I am hoping to downsize from a modern property for £225,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hythe?

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years old) in Hythe. The vast majority the appartments are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Hythe?

It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Hythe. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Hythe relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Hythe I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hythe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
