I am progressing with the sale of my apartment in Ryhope and the estate agent has just telephoned to advise that the purchasers are swapping solicitor. The excuse is that the mortgage company will only work with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a major lender only work with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Ryhope ?

UK lenders have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Nationwide, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for over 25 years.

Banks point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The purchasers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

My wife and I are selling our home in Ryhope and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Ryhope conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ryhope. We have lived in Ryhope for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

About to purchase a new build flat in Ryhope. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Ryhope I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ryhope suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
