Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Bedfordshire. I would like to know the understand why all Bedfordshire lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bedfordshire off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Lloyds. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Bedfordshire I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bedfordshire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from a lender for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom garden flat is to be issued imminently. Can you suggest a cheap remortgage conveyancing law firm in Bedfordshire ?
