Is the fact that my conveyancer in Charmouth is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. If you are concerned you should contact the Charmouth conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Charmouth I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Charmouth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
