I am about to put an offer on a leasehold apartment in Lound. The property agents say that it is the norm for flats in Lound to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am obtaining a loan with Virgin. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 72 years remaining.

I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Lound to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My 20yr old son is about to join the property ladder, he had his mortgage in principle. After the offer was accepted on flat we called the mortgage company to progress the mortgage application. I was shocked to learn that mortgage lenders do not accept all conveyancer, they have to be on a list, is this right?

Lenders tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Lound lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
