Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Marske and Upleatham who completed the legal work two years ago requesting 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 home loan from Yorkshire Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet property lawyer?

We are about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Marske and Upleatham. We encountered a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Yorkshire Building Society runs out on 3/12/2025 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 5/12/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this question is your conveyancer who should determine if he or she is better off negotiating with the bank, vendor’s representatives, estate agents or possibly all parties given the history of your transaction as of today.

I moved into my home on 5 April and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Marske and Upleatham advises it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Marske and Upleatham particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Marske and Upleatham I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Marske and Upleatham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may 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 proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
