I am considering refinancing my property in Hay On Wye, does my lawyer have to be on the TSB Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the TSB conveyancing panel, but TSB would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Hay On Wye I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My wife and I have just had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Monday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will be subject to an an additional charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice.
