Is the fact that my solicitor in Burghfield Common is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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 simply call the Burghfield Common conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Burghfield Common and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Burghfield Common you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with offer a national conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Burghfield Common)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Burghfield Common I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Burghfield Common for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
