I was advised yesterday by my estate agent that my Warrington solicitor is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Warrington conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Warrington conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the RBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Warrington?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Warrington prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a loan on such a house.

I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Warrington. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Warrington do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
