I have just been advised by my IFA that my Wolvey lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
You need to call your Wolvey lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Wolvey conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
Wolvey conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Wolvey I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wolvey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
