Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Kidbrooke. Is there a reason why all Kidbrooke property lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to banks and building societies culling less reputable firms off their panel of approved conveyancers .

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Kidbrooke I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kidbrooke in this price bracket, 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 will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
