My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in North Woolwich and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have my conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.

It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in North Woolwich. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in North Woolwich I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in North Woolwich suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
