Is the fact that my solicitor in Chiswick is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Chiswick conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to to identify law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Chiswick?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.

Unless a previous purchase of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you could assume that conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Chiswick to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
