I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in Perranporth to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and know-how. It is possible that they may have transacted otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Perranporth conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is understood that 18% of Perranporth conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the buying process being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home sales every year. Almost all Perranporth conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Perranporth both have approximately fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
