Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Chelmsley Wood is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Chelmsley Wood conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Chelmsley Wood I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chelmsley Wood for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold flat in Chelmsley Wood. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Chelmsley Wood who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Chelmsley Wood conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
