My husband and I are hoping to buy a newbuild apartment in Emersons Green with a loan from Halifax.We would like to retain our Emersons Green conveyancing solicitor but Halifax informed us he's not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Halifax panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Halifax conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel.

You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax

Just acquired a detached house in Emersons Green , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Emersons Green conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are dealt with.

As far as conveyancing in Emersons Green registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Emersons Green I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Emersons Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
