I am not well enough to travel far from Beadnell. Please spell out why all Beadnell conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms regarding their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.
How do I find out if the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Beadnell is on the mortgage lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Barclays Direct thus paying £192.00 in supplemental legal invoice.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Beadnell I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beadnell in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 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 current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
