My IFA has asked me for my Standish solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have e-mailed my local Standish office but they have not got back to me yet.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Standish is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Standish are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Standish you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Standish may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Standish
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Standish conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
I own a leasehold flat in Standish. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Is this correct?
Standish domestic long term leases are for a prescribed term - normally 99 years when they started. However many appartments in Standish were built or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years left to run. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing seventy five years. To optimize the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
