I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a family Sandringham conveyancing solicitor?
Established third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Sandringham law firms often have connections with mortgage brokers and selling, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting vast experience in the local area is an advantage.
I am hoping to move into my new home in Sandringham next Thursday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Sandringham.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of hinderance in Sandringham house deals. Is there any truth in this?

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Sandringham I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sandringham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. 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 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
