In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Canvey Island - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
