We went with a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Lincoln yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seewe are responsible for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Lincoln?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that abort. You should be mindful that such schemes generally do not cover expenditure for example Lincoln conveyancing search charges.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Lincoln I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lincoln suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount 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 may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
