After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Deal. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Deal I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Deal in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
