I can't travel far from Conisbrough. Is there a reason why all Conisbrough solicitors aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders tend to impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a practice needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some have decided to reduce the size of their panel they permit to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no liability for the standard of conveyancing supplied by any Conisbrough conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are opposing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HM Land Registry exposes that thousands of conveyancing firms only conduct one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve the right to be on a lender panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
We are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Conisbrough with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Conisbrough conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. 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 Platform Home Loans Ltd
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Conisbrough I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Conisbrough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 regarding this.

My partner has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Conisbrough. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Conisbrough conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually used the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
We are soon to acquiring a house in Conisbrough. Conveyancing is not over but we would like keep the amount we are are buying for a secret from the likes of Nestoria. How can this be done?
The Land Registry as a matter of law bound to reveal price sold information on the official title for residential properties nationwide which includes properties in Conisbrough. The register of title is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law if they did not grant access to the register.
In essence you can ask HMLR to hide the price paid data however the response would be in the negative.
