In researching consumer advice sites for a conveyancing solicitor in Cromer, most comment that I should look for a CQS kitemarked lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's leading banks. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Cromer is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS solicitors.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Cromer I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cromer for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Are there any apps to help identify a Cromer solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel? I have wheels and am happy to travel upto 10kilometers to meet the conveyancer.
