We opted for a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Shillington yesterday. Upon checking the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based lawyer advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Shillington?

Please beware that these promotions rarely protect you from expenditure such as Shillington conveyancing search charges.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Shillington for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders National Westminster Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Shillington conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels.

Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Shillington conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Shillington is one of the thousands of areas where the lawyers showing on our search results are members of the panel for National Westminster Bank.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Shillington I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shillington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
