I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Brown Edge. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Brown Edge I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brown Edge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
