Me and my partner are buying a house in Hatton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

Is there a list of Barclays panel solicitors in Hatton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Hatton building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Hatton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hatton. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hatton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
