I am not well enough to travel far from Halesworth. Is there a reason why all Halesworth conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
As inequitable as it may appear for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s perspective, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and consider it necessary to defend themselves from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Halesworth for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, 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 Halesworth conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Halesworth I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Halesworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
