At long last a mortgage offer from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 3 room maisonette is due any day now. Could you recommend a low cost conveyancing practitioner in New Romney?

Do not be fooled by organisations teasing you with low cost conveyancing in New Romney. At best, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up spending a lot in additional fees and still not end up with the service expected.
I am selling my flat in New Romney. Does my conveyancer need to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
How does conveyancing in New Romney differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in New Romney approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in New Romney typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in New Romney or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in New Romney I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Romney suitable, 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 problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in New Romney
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred New Romney conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by senior management.
