Can you help? My Wetherby solicitor is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Wetherby conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wetherby conveyancing searches.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Wetherby I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wetherby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I suspect that she will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage papers to the solicitor however she is concerned it could frustrate the house sale. Should she appoint a solicitor to update the land title details for the property?

The is no need to update the title for the property as long as you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name has come about.

The buyer’s conveyancer will review the registered information and require evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
