There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Chobham but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Chobham
Do not opt for the cheapest Chobham conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Please help - my lawyer says that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Chobham conveyancing?

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Chobham. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Chobham I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Chobham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
