My Conveyancer in Southfields is not listed on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancing Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the The Royal Bank of Scotland list of approved lawyers?

- Get a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Persuade your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to join the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel
About to purchase a new build flat in Southfields. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Southfields I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Southfields in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 solicitor regarding this.

I'm selling a apartment in Southfields. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
