You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Lambeth conveyancing searches.

I am purchasing a house and the solicitor has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the house could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this really appropriate for conveyancing in Lambeth
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Lambeth to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Lambeth I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lambeth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
