My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in Swindon with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Swindon conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Swindon I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swindon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 solicitor concerning this.

Hoping to buy a property located in Swindon and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Swindon. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Swindon area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
