Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Kirton in Lindsey is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% 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 simply call the Kirton in Lindsey conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

As far as conveyancing in Kirton in Lindsey is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Kirton in Lindsey I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kirton in Lindsey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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.
