Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Salisbury is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Salisbury conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Having for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to instruct a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are facing a tight a drop dead date to complete the transaction. Every auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

I currently have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Salisbury. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?

Bank of Ireland must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel lawyer.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Salisbury I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Salisbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Salisbury - 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.
