Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list solicitors on the conveyancing panel for instance in Oswestry?

We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Oswestry I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Oswestry in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
