is it true that all Walderslade solicitor practices on the Skipton conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am expecting a DIP from Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance recommend any Walderslade solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Walderslade solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Kent Reliance have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Walderslade has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Kent Reliance or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Kent Reliance will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Kent Reliance will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Walderslade.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Walderslade I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
