I do hope you can assist me. My Chaddesden conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Chaddesden conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Is my lawyer correct?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chaddesden conveyancing searches.
We are buying a detached bungalow in Chaddesden. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Chaddesden can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Certain extensions need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Chaddesden. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Chaddesden I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left 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 acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may 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 existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
