Is the fact that my conveyancer in East Dean is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the East Dean conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in East Dean and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in East Dean you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in East Dean)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in East Dean I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Dean for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
