We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we wish to carry out renovations to our home in Farnham Royal. Are we obliged to select a local Farnham Royal solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Farnham Royal. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am downsizing from our property in Farnham Royal and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Farnham Royal. Having lived in Farnham Royal for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Farnham Royal I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Farnham Royal suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Farnham Royal and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Farnham Royal
