Is the fact that my solicitor in Hazel Grove is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Hazel Grove conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Hazel Grove I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hazel Grove for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
