As someone unfamiliar with the Netherley conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Netherley
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Netherley and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Netherley is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

We previously instructed solicitors locally in Netherley on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Principality but by your Netherley conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Netherley off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Netherley I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Netherley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
