we are a couple who wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Lymm with a homeloan from Lloyds TSB Bank.We would like to retain our Lymm conveyancing practitioner but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Lloyds TSB Bank panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Lloyds TSB Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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 Lloyds TSB Bank
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Lymm I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lymm for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Am in the process of buying my first property in Lymm. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The broker pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed twenty two years ago.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation if appropriate. Where there are any signs of material issues obtain a full structural survey.
