We are selling our home in Holywell. Will my property lawyer have to be required to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

Have purchased a a detached house in Holywell , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Holywell conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Holywell registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Holywell I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Holywell for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
