Please help. My Elland lawyer is assuring me that he has toconduct Elland conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Elland conveyancing searches.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Elland I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Elland in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
