I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in St Mawes I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Mawes in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Am I right to be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local St Mawes conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from connections can be very helpful. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward conveyancers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most banks operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in St Mawes it shows results of many property lawyerslocally. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable property lawyer for purchase transaction?
The preferential method of finding the right conveyancer is via personal referral, so seek the counsel of colleagues and relatives who have acquired a property in St Mawes or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Fees for conveyancing in St Mawes vary, so it's a good idea to obtain a minimum of four quotes from different conveyancers. Make sure that you clarify that the costs are assured not to rise.
We are hoping to buy a three room flatin St Mawes with a mortgage from a mortgage company. We have a solicitor in St Mawes yet our bank advise she’s not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our St Mawes solicitor and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in St Mawes : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
