We wanted to use a property lawyer in Hayling Island for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Platform Home Loans Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders tend to restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have reduced the number of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Platform Home Loans Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Platform Home Loans Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed views concerning the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Hayling Island only execute very few conveyances per annum.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Hayling Island I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease.

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
