Is the fact that my solicitor in Truro is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Truro conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented property in Truro by 25/11/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they cajole the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim to achieve

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Truro I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Truro in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension 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 lawyer regarding this matter.
