After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Ashbourne. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Ashbourne I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ashbourne for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
