My mortgage broker has asked me for my Bourne End lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Bourne End office but they don't know it.

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Bourne End. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Bourne End and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Bourne End. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

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. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Bourne End
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Bourne End conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
