I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Beckton for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage lenders Skipton Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
A decade ago most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Beckton conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms about their operations and their employees as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Beckton conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Beckton is amongst the numerous locations where the lawyers we list are are approved Skipton Building Society.

The estate agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone RBS or the financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. RBS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Beckton.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Beckton I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Beckton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
