Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Scarborough

I selected a high street firm for my conveyancing in Scarborough yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I seewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line solicitor practice who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Scarborough?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to offset the cases that abort. Dont forget that these arrangements rarely cover outlay for example Scarborough conveyancing search expenses.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Scarborough?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Scarborough I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Scarborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
