I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Bampton with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Bampton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bampton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Bampton from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bampton can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Bampton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. Should you fail to have the consents to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Bampton charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bampton. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled.
