I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Bolsover. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Bolsover conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Bolsover what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Bolsover conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Nottingham as we wish to carry out improvements to our home in Bolsover. Do we need to appoint a high street Bolsover solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Nottingham don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham list.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Bolsover bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Bolsover conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
