We decided to go with a Walton based solicitor for our conveyancing in Walton last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and select a web based solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Walton?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those cases that abort. Dont forget that such arrangements tend not to cover expenditure for example Walton conveyancing search fees.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Walton?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Walton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Walton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Walton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will 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 owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 lawyer about this matter.

My conveyancer in Walton has informed me that he requires personal identification documents stating that this forms part of his retainer as a solicitor on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Am I being spun a yarn?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Walton conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the bank's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
