Can you help? My Pevensey Bay conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Pevensey Bay conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Pevensey Bay conveyancing searches.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Pevensey Bay I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pevensey Bay suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
