In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the TSB approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Canonbury. I have a mortgage agreed with Lloyds. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Canonbury I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Canonbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
