What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Calcot

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Calcot conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay 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.

The owners have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Calcot. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Calcot conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Calcot I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Calcot in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
