I need some quick conveyancing in Gilberdyke as I have an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line in less than 4 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Gilberdyke I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gilberdyke suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My husband and I are buying a three bedroom housein Gilberdyke with a residential mortgage from a lender. We would like to retain our solicitor in Gilberdyke but our mortgage company inform us now that he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Gilberdyke conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Gilberdyke lawyer?

No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Gilberdyke : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
