You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd

Where a Camborne lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for two years in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension. On the whole the cost for major works are not wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Camborne obliged leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
