My husband and I are purchasing a purpose built apartment in Burry Port with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We have a Burry Port conveyancing solicitor but Alliance & Leicester informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Alliance & Leicester panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Alliance & Leicester approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Burry Port which have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Burry Port is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the property. For most buyers and mortgage companies, leases with under 75 years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Burry Port conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
