Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in The Hale who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find a cheaper online property lawyer?

Me and my partner are due to complete buying a house in The Hale but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Bank of Ireland will not permit this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancer being on a Bank of Ireland approved list is required to advise Bank of Ireland of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in The Hale.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in The Hale I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in The Hale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
