We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Mile End with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Mile End solicitor, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Mile End property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. A further alternative is for your Mile End conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Mile End and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Mile End you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally.

A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mile End)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I'm buying my first flat in Mile End benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

I am looking at a two apartments in Mile End both have about fifty years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Mile End. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
