We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Whitefield conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Whitefield. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?
You must advise Nottingham before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Whitefield I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitefield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Do I need to be wary about third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Whitefield conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may put forward lawyers to use. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many banks operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
My cousin has encouraged me to use his lawyers for conveyancing in Whitefield. Should I choose my own solicitor?
No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or family who have actually experience in using the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.
Is there a reason that Whitefield conveyancing costs differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is increased work required for leasehold conveyancing. Whitefield has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current 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.
