Is the fact that my solicitor in Leyton is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Leyton conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Leyton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Leyton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
