Me and my husband are buying a leasehold flat in Shepshed. My lawyer is not on the lender approved list. Can I still use my Shepshed conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
You will need to have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities if you require a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can select a Shepshed solicitor of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not previously sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Shepshed for our home move. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage company Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies on the whole restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have reduced the number of firms they allow to represent them. Be aware that Birmingham Midshires have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Birmingham Midshires Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions regarding the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Shepshed only perform very few conveyances a year.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Shepshed I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shepshed suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
