Why would one use a Queensbury conveyancing practice given that web based alternatives are less expensive?
Its a good idea to get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in Queensbury and you should seek a competitive estimate but don’t expend your energy searching for the cheapest Queensbury conveyancer. Locating the right conveyancer can be the distinction between a seamless and a distressing move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist solicitor. An e-mail can never be as helpful as a phone discussion and can never replicate a one to one appointment. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor that will tackle your conveyancing from start to finish, giving the sort of hand holding that you will never get with an web based conveyancer. Our lawyers will inform you as to headway making sure that you are regularly updated. Should it ever be necessary to contact the office you will know who to ask for and they will ensure you are kept fully informed.
My fiance and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Queensbury with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We have a Queensbury conveyancing solicitor but The Royal Bank of Scotland says her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Queensbury I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Queensbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 concerning this matter.

Being a tenant I am liable for a maintenance contribution for my appartment in Queensbury. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped into arrears with payments. The freeholders agreed a clearance plan but there is still around £2000 left to be paid.
I am under pressure to sell and I am concerned this can hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this possible?
You should check with the solicitor dealing with your Queensbury conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The final price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then discharge the fees once they are the owners.
