Is it the case that all Anlaby solicitor practices on the HSBC conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Anlaby solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Anlaby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Anlaby bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Anlaby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

We are midway through buying a property in Anlaby. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this impact our HSBC valuation?
Anlaby conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the saleability significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
