We wanted to use a property lawyer in Haslemere for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have limited the amount of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Haslemere only conduct very few conveyances a year.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Haslemere I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Haslemere in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan 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 current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

The law firms listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Haslemere conveyancing solicitor being on the lender conveyancing panel is incorrect.
