My lawyer in Upminster is not on the Lloyds TSB Bank Approved Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Lloyds TSB Bank list of approved lawyers?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Upminster I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Upminster suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Is it best to instruct a Upminster conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities however her office is over three hundred miles away.
The benefit of a local Upminster conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Upminster know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Upminster conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Upminster based.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
