I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Sutton. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Sutton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You must instruct a lawyer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may instruct a Sutton lawyer of your choice. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company conveyancing panel additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they should do so.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Sutton I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sutton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
