I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Kirkwhelpington house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Kirkwhelpington I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kirkwhelpington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am selling a property in Neath but live in Kirkwhelpington. My solicitor (based 200 miles awayrequires that I execute a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Kirkwhelpington who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Kirkwhelpington based
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington what are the most common lease defects?
Leasehold conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Nottingham Building Society all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Kirkwhelpington, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With only 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank 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?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
