It has come to my attention via my lender that my Crick property lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?
You need to contact your Crick conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Crick conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
I am acquiring a house for cash in Crick. I have resided for the last twelve years in Crick. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Crick conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do consider; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion properties with apparent issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Crick will be able to give you some constructive guidance concerning this.
Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to list firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Crick?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Crick I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Crick in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
