My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Nottingham as we intend to carry out improvements to our house in The Park. Are we obliged to choose a nearby The Park solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Nottingham don't usually require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in The Park. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
The deeds to our property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in The Park 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in The Park
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred The Park conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
We are in the middle of buying a property in The Park. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect our mortgage valuation?
The Park conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your solicitor.
