My husband and I are in the process of looking at flats in Laleham and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Co-operative.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Laleham accepted, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Laleham. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with TSB started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Laleham conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Laleham.
I am buying my first flat in Laleham with a loan from Britannia. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Laleham I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Laleham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
