I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when buying a residence in Brading? or Apparently there is an ancient law that means some homeowners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Brading?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Brading to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Brading. I now require my papers however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Brading I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brading for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Brading
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Brading conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
