I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Lechlade for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Lechlade conveyancing specialists.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Lechlade I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Lechlade for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Am I right to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Lechlade conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to use. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
