I am getting a mortgage offer from Halifax. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Arley. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I have Fifty Six years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my apartment in Arley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Chelsea Building Society panel can deal with such extensions right?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Arley I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Arley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the 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 could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I need to assess estimates for conveyancing in Arley from various solicitor and decide on one. Am I right to instruct them to sit tight until I a suitable house to buy.
We suggest that you wait to ask your property lawyer to open a file and apply for searches after the offer has been accepted on the property especially as Arley conveyancing searches are not cheap.
