Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Romiley who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you you were to look around you could shave off some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the conveyancing the firm gave you mightcome to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can act for Nottingham Building Society.

How up to date is your search tool for Romiley conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Do Leeds Building Society send you an updated list?
Romiley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Romiley for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Banks ordinarily imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the type of firm, a few banks have reduced the number of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. You should note that Bank of Scotland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Bank of Scotland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Romiley only conduct a couple conveyances per annum.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Romiley I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Romiley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Romiley and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives a safeguard to business tenants, giving them the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Romiley is one of our many locations in which our lawyers have offices
