Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Hadleigh is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Hadleigh conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I acquired my home on 2 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Hadleigh advises it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Hadleigh particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Hadleigh registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Hadleigh I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hadleigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass 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 about this.
