Can you help? My Longlands conveyancer is assuring me that he has toconduct Longlands conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?

You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Longlands conveyancing searches.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Longlands with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We like our Longlands conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct informed us he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Barclays Direct approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

What makes a Longlands lease defective?

Leasehold conveyancing in Longlands is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A duty to insure the building

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, Leeds Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to pull out.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of thousand pounds short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Longlands , but I still want to go ahead. What can I do?

You can accept a smaller deposit. Most property owners will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
