Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Chelmsley Wood I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chelmsley Wood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Chelmsley Wood to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services over a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will be subject to an a further charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to locate a lawyer in Chelmsley Wood on the approved list for HSBC.
