Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Wraysbury?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Wraysbury your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is payable against the purchase price then this will be asked for immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
We're in Wraysbury, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Wraysbury 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Wraysbury I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wraysbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
