My fiance and I are intent on purchasing property in Badminton. My lawyer has never been on on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Badminton conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
Your options include
- Proceed with your preferred Badminton conveyancer but your lender will no doubt instruct a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees and probable frustration.
- Appoint a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your lawyer to apply to join the bank panel

How does conveyancing in Badminton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Badminton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Badminton usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Badminton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Badminton I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Badminton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current 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. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
