we are a couple who are buying a newly converted apartment in Abergele with a residential mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We would like to retain our Abergele conveyancing practitioner but Alliance & Leicester informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester

Should I be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Abergele conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all suggest solicitors to choose. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Abergele. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Abergele - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
