Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Lymington will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or need the permission of another owner.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Lymington conveyancer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Lymington I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lymington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may 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 proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
