My property lawyer in Crowborough is not listed on the Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the list of approved lawyers?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Crowborough solicitors but will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees and result in frustration.
- Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are approved.
- Persuade your solicitor to attempt to join the panel

I bought my apartment on 7 August and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Crowborough said it would be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Crowborough uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Crowborough is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Crowborough I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Crowborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
