Please help. My Allendale lawyer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toconduct Allendale conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. These Allendale checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Allendale conveyancing searches.

We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Allendale. Are we obliged to select a nearby Allendale solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Yorkshire BS would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
About to purchase flat in Allendale. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Allendale solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Allendale I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Allendale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension 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 consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
