I am acquiring a ground floor flat in Marks Gate. My lawyer is not on the lender solicitor list. Can I still use my Marks Gate conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?

One will need to appoint a lawyer to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your property. They will carry out all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can appoint a Marks Gate solicitor of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not previously sought membership they can do so.

I am downsizing from our home in Marks Gate and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Marks Gate. We have lived in Marks Gate for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Marks Gate I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marks Gate for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
