I used Action Conveyancing a few years ago for my conveyancing in Yelverton. Now, I need the files but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Do call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Yelverton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yelverton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could 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 concerning this matter.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Yelverton. I happened to chance upon a site which appears to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all the legals done via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

At what point do I pay stamp duty chargeable for my purchase in Yelverton?

The majority of lawyers will complete a stamp duty return on your behalf as part of your Yelverton purchase transaction for signature. After completion your property lawyer will submit your STL Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - as long as they have the money - discharge any Stamp Duty due on your behalf.
