Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Speke conveyancing practitioners were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore done the survey? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Speke I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Speke suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a house in Speke?
Where a Speke property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a sale your lawyer would simply be asked to evidence as to the reason the co proprietor is not included in the conveyance, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making things more straight forward in the future you may arrange to have the deceased party erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
