Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Woodcote is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Woodcote conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Woodcote. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Woodcote for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Woodcote I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woodcote suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
