I have todaydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Burbage for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Burbage is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Burbage are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burbage may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I was recommended by a number of property agents in Burbage to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over a competitor’s?

Our lawyer in Burbage has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Burbage. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that as he is on the bank conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. A precondition to being on the mortgage company approved panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected . Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
