We previously selected conveyancing lawyers based in Silvertown on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Silvertown off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Silvertown I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease.

If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
