Is the fact that my conveyancer in New Cross is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the New Cross conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Just bought a terraced house in New Cross , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My New Cross conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in New Cross registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in New Cross I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in New Cross suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
