Me and my fiancee are acquiring our first property. The lawyer has messagedto see if we wish to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's relevant for conveyancing in Blackpool
The extent of Blackpool conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information the searches could provide. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Should you be uncertain, ask your property lawyer to explain.

I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Blackpool. The Blackpool property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
When it comes to lenders such as Virgin Money, do Blackpool property lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Blackpool building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Blackpool conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Blackpool I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackpool in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
