is it true that all Whitnash solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.
I am expecting a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Whitnash solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Whitnash solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
I require fast conveyancing in Whitnash as I am under pressure to exchange contracts within 4 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not taking a mortgage you are at liberty not to have searches conducted although no solicitor would advise that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Whitnash the following are instances of issues that can crop up and therefore impact future mortgageability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Whitnash I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whitnash for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
