What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Kingston Vale
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Kingston Vale conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Kingston Vale I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingston Vale suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend lawyers to instruct. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your home move.
My wife and I are disposing of a Kingston Vale flat left to us 8 years ago in 2011. I have over ten years conveyancing know-how and, although retired, see no reason not to undertake the conveyancing. The purchaser's property lawyer has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to solicitors from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached as to whether they are willing to progress.
