We are planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Brook Green who is on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

My fiance and I intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Brook Green with a homeloan from National Westminster Bank.We have a Brook Green conveyancing practitioner but National Westminster Bank informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Brook Green I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Brook Green for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer 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 may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Brook Green. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Brook Green - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Brook Green. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

My lawyers in Brook Green have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
