Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Sleaford who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

My wife and I are due to exchange buying a house in Sleaford but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
Any lawyer that is on a Virgin Money approved list is required to disclose to Virgin Money of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Sleaford.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Sleaford I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Sleaford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I was advised by a few selling agents in Sleaford to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Why do Sleaford conveyancing fees are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
There is always increased work necessary for leasehold conveyancing. Sleaford has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
