I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Winchcombe and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my .

I am considering applying for a mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Winchcombe with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the conveyancing panel, but would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Winchcombe I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Winchcombe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 concerning this matter.
