We wish to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Rochdale with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Rochdale conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Rochdale. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Rochdale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
