Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Llanharan who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

My lawyer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Llanharan. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender provisions must be adhered to.
Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Llanharan so that I can attend their offices if required.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Llanharan I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanharan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
