We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Crowborough who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Crowborough for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Virgin Money won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for stalling in Crowborough house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Crowborough.
My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Crowborough. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Crowborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
