Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Eaglescliffe conveyancing solicitors are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?

I had an offer accepted on a property in Eaglescliffe on 3/6/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Are HSBC entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Eaglescliffe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Eaglescliffe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
