I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Boscombe. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Boscombe is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Aldermore have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Boscombe has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Aldermore or the financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. Aldermore will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Boscombe.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Boscombe I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Boscombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term 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 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
