Some advice if I may. My Corfe Mullen conveyancer is informing me me that he has toapply for Corfe Mullen conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Corfe Mullen conveyancing searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Corfe Mullen I like with amenity areas 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 Corfe Mullen for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
