Are you able to suggest a National Westminster Bank approved Sunninghill conveyancing solicitor who can have us moved in within under 3 weeks? Would it be better to use a high street Sunninghill practice or a web based firm?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Sunninghill conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the high street in Sunninghill. Go in to a couple of law practices and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for hinderance in Sunninghill conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Sunninghill.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Sunninghill 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Sunninghill I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Sunninghill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My husband and I intend to purchase our 1st house in Sunninghill. Conveyancing practitioner already appointed. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not necessary as the property was only constructed 16 yrs ago.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest further investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
