Is the fact that my solicitor in Brandesburton is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Brandesburton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Brandesburton. I have land on a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

I work for a long established estate agent office in Brandesburton where we have witnessed a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Brandesburton conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
