We opted for a Wooler based firm for my conveyancing in Wooler yesterday. Reviewing the fine print I noteI am liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Wooler?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. Please beware that these offerings tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Wooler conveyancing search costs.
The Wooler conveyancing firm handling our Wooler conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

How does conveyancing in Wooler differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wooler approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Wooler typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Wooler or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Wooler I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wooler in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
