Me and my fiance are intending to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Denton with a mortgage. We like our Denton conveyancer, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to use one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Denton as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to require that the mortgage company use our Denton ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Denton conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Me and my partner are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Denton but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet will not agree to this. Why were they approached?

Do I have to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Denton so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
Most approved lawyers for banks carry out all of the work via the post, e-mail or over the phone. This enables them to undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in England or Wales. That being said you should check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.
I am assisting my mother sell her flat in Denton. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was retained a required component of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand before the property is put on the market. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Denton conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local assessors
I currently have a mortgage with for my property in Denton. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform ?

It may be that will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Denton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Denton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
