I am not well enough to travel far from Clun. What is the rationale as to why all Clun lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies displayed an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms about their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Clun. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Clun - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
