We hired a Kings Lynn based lawyer for my conveyancing in Kings Lynn today. Reviewing the official terms of business I noteI am responsible for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no move no charge conveyancing in Kings Lynn?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such offerings tend not to cover expenses by way of example Kings Lynn conveyancing search charges.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Kings Lynn. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kings Lynn and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Kings Lynn. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Kings Lynn
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Kings Lynn I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kings Lynn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
