There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Penn but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Penn
Do not opt for the cheapest Penn conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We previously chose conveyancers locally in Penn on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Penn conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Penn conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Penn getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Penn I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. For most situations a specialist may be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Penn.
