Do not opt for the lowest Shotton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I am being advised by my conveyancer that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Shotton conveyancing?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Shotton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.

If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
