Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Hounslow is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Hounslow conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am downsizing from our home in Hounslow and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Hounslow lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hounslow. We have lived in Hounslow for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hounslow

    The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Hounslow I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hounslow for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
