Is the fact that my solicitor in Aberaeron is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?

A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Aberaeron conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Aberaeron I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aberaeron for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
