About to place a bid on a leasehold flat in Yarmouth. The property agents tell me that it is standard for flats in Yarmouth to have less than 75 years remaining. I am taking out a mortgage with Accord Mortgages. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 69 years unexpired.

Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 15/12/2025 the requirements read as follows :
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Yarmouth. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Yarmouth?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Yarmouth. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We were going to get a OIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Yarmouth solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Yarmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with Coventry BS for my property in Yarmouth. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
You must advise Coventry BS in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Yarmouth concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My wife and I accepted an offer on a Yarmouth property left to us some years ago in 2010. I have over twenty years conveyancing knowledge and, although retired, intend to undertake the legal work. The buyer's solicitor has informed me that their building society will not allow us to do our own conveyancing as they require the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
