My home in Barnet is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the property lawyer have to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
My relative suggested that if I am buying in Barnet I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Barnet Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Barnet Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Barnet.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Barnet I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barnet suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
