Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Cowfold is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Cowfold conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Cowfold. I have resided for the last dozen years in Cowfold. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Cowfold conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion properties with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Cowfold should provide you some practical guidance in this regard.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Cowfold I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cowfold suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
