As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Ripley what is the number one tip you can impart for the house moving process in Ripley
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ripley and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially the bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Ripley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action 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.

I'm buying a new build house in Ripley with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Ripley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ripley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension 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 lawyer about this.
