My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Skipton as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Dosthill. Do we need to choose a local Dosthill solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Skipton don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton list.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are a common reason for stalling in Dosthill house deals. Is this right?

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Dosthill.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Dosthill I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dosthill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
