If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Martlesham what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Martlesham conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying 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 time.

We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
We expect to receive a OIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Martlesham solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Martlesham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Martlesham I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Martlesham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor 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. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
