I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Silverdale I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Silverdale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My wife and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Silverdale. When we first instructed solicitor, we were told they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us today to say that they don't seem to be on the Virgin Money approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a different conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we pay for separate representation, with Virgin Money appointing their own preferred solicitor.

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancing practitioner has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Virgin Money and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Virgin Money's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Silverdale solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
