My apartment in Chaddesden is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my solicitor need to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Chaddesden conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Chaddesden I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chaddesden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Chaddesden conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest conveyancers to choose. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that most lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender related work in your house move.
