I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Weston super Mare I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Weston super Mare in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the 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 can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My husband and I are buying a four bedroom first floor flatin Weston super Mare with a home loan from a bank. We have a conveyancer in Weston super Mare yet our lender inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our lender panel firms or stay with our Weston super Mare conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Weston super Mare lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Weston super Mare : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
