I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Ackworth I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ackworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing 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 expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Ackworth conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to instruct. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that most lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.

My solicitor (who is 260 miles from merequires that I sign a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Ackworth who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Ackworth based

I have instructed a Ackworth conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be concerned or is that usually the case with property lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have strict stipulations covering funds sitting in their bank.
