Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Weldon who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Britannia. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The charges appear a little high. If you you were to look around you could shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the legal work the firm offered you couldcome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. If is important to enquire that the firm can act for Britannia.

Please help. My Weldon conveyancer is informing me me that he has toconduct Weldon conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Weldon conveyancing searches.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Weldon I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Weldon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
