My Conveyancer in Stokenchurch has never been on on the Halifax Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Halifax panel?

- Carry on with your existing Stokenchurch lawyers but Halifax will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal charges as well as cause frustration.
- Find an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Halifax panel

How does conveyancing in Stokenchurch differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Stokenchurch approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Stokenchurch typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stokenchurch or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Stokenchurch I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stokenchurch suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
