It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Warwick lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
You need to contact your Warwick lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.

I bought my flat on 8 July and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Warwick advises it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Warwick uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Warwick registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Warwick I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Warwick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
