we are a couple who decided to purchase a purpose built flat in Whissendine with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Whissendine conveyancing lawyer but Accord Mortgages Ltd says he's not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd

Whissendine residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - normally just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Whissendine were constructed or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have under eighty years remaining. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have a minimum of 75 years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
