Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Binstead is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Binstead conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Binstead I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Binstead for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Me and my husband are selling a Binstead property we inherited 5 years ago in 2012. I have over twenty years conveyancing experience and, now retired, wish to carry out the legal work. The purchaser's lawyer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to property lawyers from all CML members specify that If the vendor is not legally represented the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be told so that a decision can be reached if they are prepared to proceed.
