My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Castleford with a loan from Nottingham Building Society.We like our Castleford conveyancing practitioner but Nottingham Building Society says her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nottingham Building Society use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Castleford I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Castleford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

We have today had a bid accepted on our first home in Castleford, and need to get solicitors lined up. We have used the various comparison tools and the results are from all across the the UK. Is it necessary to have a Castleford conveyancing practitioner local to the potential new home? I am happy to do all the communicating over the web, but I guess at some stage we will need to physically go into the property lawyer's office to sign contracts?

Usually there is no requirement to physically visit the office of your lawyer, they can post any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers choose to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means a prerequisite for conveyancing in Castleford.
