Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Pentonville I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pentonville in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My wife and I have just had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will incur a further fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Pentonville on the approved list for HSBC.
