Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Newhaven is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Newhaven conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Newhaven. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Newhaven - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Newhaven - Examples of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing
-
How is the lease structured? Are there any major works anticipated that will likely increase the maintenance costs? The majority of Newhaven leasehold apartments will have a service charge for the upkeep of the block set by the landlord. If you purchase the apartment you will have to pay this amount, normally in instalments during the year. This can differ from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common areas. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a large sum, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it could be prohibitively expensive.
