As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Stamfordham what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Stamfordham
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Stamfordham and elsewhere in Northumberland is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, property agent and on occasion a bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Stamfordham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Stamfordham I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stamfordham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 lawyer regarding this.
