I can't travel far from Stepney. Is there a reason why all Stepney conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Banks tend to restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that the organisation needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no liability for the accuracy of service provided by any Stepney solicitor on their panel. Property fraud was the key driver in the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are contrary assessments concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by the Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing practices only conduct one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms deserve the right to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Stepney I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Stepney in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Stepney.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have just received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and service invoices should be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
