Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Prenton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Prenton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. 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 twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My husband and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Prenton. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they assured us that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The financial adviser emailed just now to say that they are not on the Barclays approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just choose a different conveyancer that is on their panel or should we pay for dual representation, with Barclays appointing their own preferred property lawyer.

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to fulfill. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Barclays and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Barclays's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Prenton lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
