Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shenley

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Shenley is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should contact the Shenley conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Shenley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Shenley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
