It has come to my attention via my broker that my Scarborough the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?
You need to call your Scarborough lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
My home in Scarborough is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the property lawyer have to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Scarborough I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Scarborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

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.
