Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Church End?
If you are buying a property in Church End your lawyer will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the total price then this will be required shortly prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed will be payable a few days prior to the day of completion.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Church End?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Church End what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Church End conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Church End which have about forty five years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Church End. The lease is a right to use the property for a period of time.

More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
