I am considering remortgaging my home in Stoke Gifford, does my lawyer have to be on the Barclays Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel, but Barclays would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

How does conveyancing in Stoke Gifford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stoke Gifford approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Stoke Gifford tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stoke Gifford or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Stoke Gifford I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stoke Gifford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
