Finally, a loan agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom flat is expected within the next few days. Can you suggest a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Sidcup?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Sidcup. Our goal is to offer value for money conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by companies teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Sidcup. At best, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst it will result in you being stung for extras and still not receive the service required.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sidcup?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the mortgage company and explore if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Sidcup.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Sidcup I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sidcup suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner 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 current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years unexpired on my lease in Sidcup. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Sidcup.
