My wife and I are in the throws of looking at houses in Manselton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with Virgin Money.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Manselton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Manselton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Manselton I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Manselton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

We own a leasehold flat in Manselton. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have been told that I should not let the lease length get too low. Is this right?
Manselton residential long term leases are for a prescribed term - usually 99 years when they are first granted. However many appartments in Manselton were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years unexpired. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to require leases to have at least seventy five years left to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to seventy five years. To maximise the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also advantages to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
