I am buying a flat in Hale Barns. My lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Can I still continue with my Hale Barns conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you need a loan to purchase your home. The lawyer will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may instruct a Hale Barns property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the solicitor appointed is not on the lender approved list additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Hale Barns for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Lloyds TSB Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

A selection of lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
We had appointed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Hale Barns on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further fee for handling the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Hale Barns property lawyer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Hale Barns. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hale Barns conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Hale Barns I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hale Barns suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
