I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Baglan I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Baglan 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 need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 about this matter.

I'm selling a apartment in Baglan. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
