I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in March I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in March for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My friend mentioned that before selecting a conveyancing lawyer they need approved by your bank. This is my first house move but I have an offer in principle via Santander and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in March in place. Does HSBC need an approved conveyancer to be used? If so, where do I find that list for my conveyancing in March?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. The simplest thing to do is call your chosen March conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of choices open to you here:

• Complete the purchase with your existing March lawyer but HSBC will need to use a solicitor from their approved list. This will result in additional charges together with probable interruption.
• Appoint a fresh conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
• Convince your conveyancer to apply to join the mortgage company panel.
