Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Thornhill is more expensive?
Thornhill leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Kent Reliance as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Thornhill. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Thornhill solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Kent Reliance do not ordinarily appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Thornhill I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Thornhill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I need to change lawyers as my Thornhill lawyer is not on the bank's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. How simple is it to change conveyancer?
If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Thornhill that you're considering.
