I am getting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Sunbury. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

I am buying a house and the solicitor has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the house may be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this really necessary for conveyancing in Sunbury

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Sunbury I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Sunbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
