Not long after, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Rocester I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rocester suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
