My wife and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Cross Hands with a mortgage. We have a Cross Hands conveyancer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Cross Hands conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not demand that the mortgage company use our Cross Hands conveyancing practitioner ?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, 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 Cross Hands conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Cross Hands I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cross Hands in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
