I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a Sacriston based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to determine if they offer you a monetary alternative.

I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Sacriston for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sacriston conveyancing specialists.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Sacriston I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sacriston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My husband and I are 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Sacriston. I am am extremely frustrated with the level of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?

A conveyancer would need to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the loan offer been sent? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the offer are re-sent. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental fees and delays. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.
