Me and my fiance are purchasing an apartment in Market Harborough. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Market Harborough conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to instruct a solicitor to complete the formalities if you need a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. One can instruct a Market Harborough conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
Having invested time scouring consumer advice sites for an online lawyer in Market Harborough, most comment that I must look for a CQS assured lawyer. What is CQS?

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Market Harborough I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Market Harborough for this price, 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 will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 matter.
What does commercial conveyancing in Market Harborough cover?

Am I better off to choose a Market Harborough conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the legal formalities but they are based approximately 350miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Market Harborough conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that should trump using an unknown Market Harborough conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
