It is even conceivable that they could have conducted previousproperties in the same road. Therefore consider using a Ripley conveyancing lawyer.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Ripley I like with a park 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 Ripley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Ripley accepted, the seller does nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have submitted an offer on somewhere, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ripley. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Ripley conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Ripley.
