Can you help? My Poplar conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toconduct Poplar conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. These Poplar searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your solicitor 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 comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Poplar conveyancing searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Poplar I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Poplar in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
My husband and I are 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Poplar. We are not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be really bad to suggest replacing them. Has your loan offer been generated? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating costs and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.
