Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Clevedon. What is the rationale as to why all Clevedon lawyers aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Lenders tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm is required to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to reduce the size of their panel they use to act for them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the quality of service provided by any Clevedon solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are contrary assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing organisations only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a lender panel when it is evident that property law is not their primary expertise?

I am remortgaging my flat in Clevedon, does my lawyer need to be on the Barclays Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel, but Barclays would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Clevedon I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Clevedon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
