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.

You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

What will a local search inform me regarding the property I am purchasing in Stamfordham?

Stamfordham conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Stamfordham conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your 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.
