Is the fact that my conveyancer in Woodthorpe is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% 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 solicitor 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 Woodthorpe conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Woodthorpe I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woodthorpe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
