Is the fact that my conveyancer in Llanymynech is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Llanymynech conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Llanymynech costs more?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Llanymynech off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Llanymynech bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Llanymynech conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Llanymynech I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanymynech for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
