My fiance and I are buying a newly converted flat in Cannington with a homeloan from Britannia.We would like to retain our Cannington conveyancing lawyer but Britannia says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Britannia panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Britannia panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Britannia use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Britannia approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Cannington I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cannington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
