We wanted to use a property lawyer in Clitheroe for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Chelsea Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Banks on the whole restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that Chelsea Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Chelsea Building Society Conveyancer Panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Clitheroe I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease.

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
