My mortgage broker has asked me for my Becontree solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have called my local Becontree branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Becontree conveyancer . Most Becontree conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Can you help? My Becontree lawyer is advising me that he is legally obliged toorder Becontree conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Becontree conveyancing searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Becontree I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Becontree for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
