You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Albrighton or throughout Shropshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction.

We expect to receive a OIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Albrighton solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Albrighton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with HSBC for my property in Albrighton. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?
Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor.
I have instructed a Albrighton solicitor having checked that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Albrighton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Albrighton.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Albrighton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Albrighton 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 the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Am I better off to go with a Albrighton conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can execute the legal formalities however her office is a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The benefit of a local Albrighton conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate.

If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must outweigh using an unknown Albrighton conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
