My financial adviser has asked me for my Newington law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Newington branch but they don't know it.

My father pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Newington there could be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to a property. Is this right?

We expect to receive a DIP from this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do recommend any Newington solicitors on the conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Newington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, are being a right pain. The Newington solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Newington I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Newington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will 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 property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
