I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Grassendale. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted 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 have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Grassendale I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Grassendale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My plan is to acquire a ground floor flat in Grassendale. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. This morning I was informed that the vendor needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why does my property lawyer want to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it really necessary? We have been waiting for the last fortnight…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Grassendale to discover Conveyancing in Grassendale in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire premises - which is clearly preferable. Do clarify with your lawyer but it would seem that your solicitor is attempting to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring your apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed as a result of lack of insurance cover.
