Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Oundle. Please spell out why all Oundle lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
As unjust as it may appear for banks to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s viewpoint, the other side of the coin is that banks are increasingly anxious and regard it imperative to defend themselves against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

We're in Oundle, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Leeds Building Society , and our solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Oundle I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Oundle suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

My partner and I may need to rent out our Oundle 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Oundle conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Oundle conveyancing solicitor is not available you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
