We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a Bishops Waltham based conveyancing firm?

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Bishops Waltham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bishops Waltham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
New build sellers have recommended to me a lawyer and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are almost £250 cheaper than my preferred Bishops Waltham solicitor. What's the catch?
Developers frequently have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to select their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Bishops Waltham conveyancer.
