I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Grove. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years ago for my conveyancing in Grove. Now, I need my files but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?
You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Grove I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Grove in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Am I better off to choose a Grove conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Grove conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Grove know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Grove conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Grove conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Grove conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Grove conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be of use:
