I am expecting a AIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Queenborough solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Queenborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Queenborough. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Queenborough solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
HSBC have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Queenborough has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone HSBC or the broker and complete any relevant forms. HSBC will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. HSBC will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Queenborough.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Queenborough I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Queenborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am attracted to a two flats in Queenborough which have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Queenborough. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.

It is important to be aware whether a new roof is being put on or some other significant cost is due shortly that will be shared by the leaseholders and may well materially impact the level of the service charges or require a specific payment. For many Queenborough leaseholds the outlay for major works are not incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Queenborough ask tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. Can you inform me if there are any major works in the planning that could increase the maintenance charges?
