We are buying a flat in Ludgershall. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Ludgershall. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Ludgershall?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Ludgershall. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Ludgershall I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ludgershall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 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 existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
We are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Ludgershall. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A solicitor would need to be very poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has your mortgage been issued? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid added fees and frustration. That should be your starting point. Our search tool should assist you in finding a bank approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Ludgershall
Is it possible for you to refer me to a cheap Ludgershall lawyer for buying an apartment? A work colleague recommended one but their estimate was £895 for a 250k property. That seems a wee bit steep. The lender will be Nationwide.
