We are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Hanham with a mortgage. We like our Hanham lawyer, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Hanham conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Hanham conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Hanham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hanham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated 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 ask them to 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Newport but reside in Hanham. My conveyancer (who is 250 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Hanham who can witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Hanham
