My mortgage broker requires my Poringland solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Poringland office but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Poringland lawyer . Most Poringland law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Poringland?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Poringland I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Poringland suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
