Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Denbigh is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Denbigh conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Denbigh 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 Denbigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Do I need to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Denbigh conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
