Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Norton costs more?
The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Norton is inevitably higher when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the supplemental investigations required in communicating with the freeholder and managing agents to obtain information concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Norton. The Norton property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this requirement principally exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Norton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. 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 use 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 Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Norton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Norton 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 mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
