I am acquiring an apartment in Corsham. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Corsham conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must use a property lawyer to deal with the formalities when you require a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may instruct a Corsham lawyer of your choosing. However, where the lawyer selected is not on the bank solicitor panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.
Do the conveyancing lawyers that you recommend carry out attended exchange conveyancing in Corsham?

About to purchase a new build apartment in Corsham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Corsham
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Corsham I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Corsham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
What does commercial conveyancing in Corsham cover?
Corsham conveyancing for business premises incorporates a broad array of guidance, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. For instance, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
Should I go with a Corsham conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can conduct the conveyancing however they are based 200miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Corsham conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown Corsham conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
