Is the fact that my solicitor in Cheetham Hill is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Cheetham Hill conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
My wife and I have just acquired a property in Cheetham Hill. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Cheetham Hill?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Cheetham Hill. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers proves to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Cheetham Hill.
My wife and I own a renovated Victorian property in Cheetham Hill. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).
