I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Eastwood for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Eastwood conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Eastwood I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Eastwood for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
