We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a Balby based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company and check if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Balby.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Balby
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Balby conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by head office.
There are numerous houses in Balby on private lanes. My wife and I are purchasing such a house. Are there any advantages to buying a property on a private road?
Balby conveyancing practices will be used to dealing homeson unadopted roads. The conveyancing practitioner should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
