I went with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Lower Sunbury last week. Looking through the official terms of business I seewe are on the hook for fees even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to use an on-line conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Lower Sunbury?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover those conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that these offerings generally do not protect you from expenses for instance Lower Sunbury conveyancing search fees.
I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Lower Sunbury lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Lower Sunbury conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have a choice here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Lower Sunbury conveyancing searches.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Lower Sunbury I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lower Sunbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 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 existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Our offer on detached house in Lower Sunbury was agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have submitted an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Lower Sunbury. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Lower Sunbury conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Lower Sunbury.
