I do hope you can help me. My Catford solicitor is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Catford conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Catford conveyancing searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Catford I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Catford 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 be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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 matter.
