Is it the case that all Laceby solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

I'm in the process of looking at flats in Laceby and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Barclays.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Laceby solicitor - who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Laceby postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Laceby.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Laceby I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Laceby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
