I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer rather than a local Alperton conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party relationships is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing lawyers. Alperton conveyancers often have long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting years of experience in the local area is an advantage.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Alperton. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Virgin Money must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Alperton building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Alperton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?

In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Alperton so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Alperton conveyancing practitioner and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses.
