My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Barclays as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Gwernaffield. Are we obliged to select a local Gwernaffield solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Gwernaffield off the council. I have a mortgage offer with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Gwernaffield I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gwernaffield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
We are 18 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Gwernaffield. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A conveyancer would have to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been issued? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. So that should be your starting point.

I've found a house that appears to be perfect, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have since discovered that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Gwernaffield. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Gwernaffield are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Gwernaffield so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Gwernaffield conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the freeholder’spermission to carry out alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor should advise you fully on all the issues.

Does the lease have more than 85 years unexpired? If a Gwernaffield lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are eligible to extend the lease.
