I opted for a Oakhill based lawyer for our conveyancing in Oakhill today. After carefully reading the Terms I seeI am on the hook for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or select an on-line lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Oakhill?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these promotions rarely protect you from disbursements for example Oakhill conveyancing search expenses.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Oakhill I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Oakhill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
