As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Swindon?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Swindon and elsewhere in Wiltshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Swindon should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Swindon I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swindon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
