Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Desborough who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were content with the legal work the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an an unknown solicitor. Remember to enquire the conveyancer can represent Nottingham Building Society.

We are soon to exchange buying a property in Desborough but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Coventry BS will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
The property lawyer being on a Coventry BS conveyancing panel is required to advise Coventry BS of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Desborough.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Desborough I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Desborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
