Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Canford Heath who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from The Mortgage Works. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. Where you are content to invest time comparing quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds.

Am I best advised to appoint a Canford Heath conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but they are based a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Canford Heath conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Canford Heath conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
We own a leasehold flat in Canford Heath. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have read on a number of advice forums that I should not let the lease length get too short. Why is that a problem?
Canford Heath residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - normally 99 years when they are first granted. However many appartments in Canford Heath were constructed or converted 35 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To increase your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
