I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Mitcheldean I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Mitcheldean for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
My fiance and I have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur an extra fee of £200. This is because they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we should be able to locate a solicitor in Mitcheldean on the approved list for HSBC.
