My flat in Camborne is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my conveyancer need to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Camborne I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Camborne in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Camborne. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal as all rents and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
