Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a property in Bilborough but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Skipton will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Your solicitor that is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Skipton of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bilborough.
Can I be sure that the Bilborough conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Nationwide as we wish to conduct renovations to our house in Bilborough. Do we need to select a high street Bilborough solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nationwide don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bilborough bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Bilborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Bilborough I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bilborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
