As someone with no idea as to the Whickham conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Whickham

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Whickham and elsewhere in Tyne And Wear is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially a mortgage company.

There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your solicitor ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My flat in Whickham is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Whickham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Whickham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 solicitor about this.
