I was notified yesterday by my lender that my Yeading property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
You need to call your Yeading lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
When can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Yeading and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Yeading you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Yeading)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am buying a terraced house in Yeading. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Yeading you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Yeading I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yeading suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Should I be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Yeading conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to use. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that some banks operate an approved list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a property in Monmouth but reside in Yeading. My conveyancer (approximately 235 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Yeading to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Yeading
