We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in St Austell?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender to determine if they allow a monetary alternative.

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest St Austell conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. St Austell conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?

I am attracted to a couple of flats in St Austell which have approximately forty five years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in St Austell. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
