We wanted to use a property lawyer in Blakedown for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Virgin Money won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few banks have limited the number of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. You should note that Virgin Money have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Virgin Money Conveyancer Panel.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Blakedown I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blakedown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer 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 could ask them to start the process of the extension 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 concerning this.
