Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cullercoats?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Are all Cullercoats Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
Is it the case that all Cullercoats solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the CLC.

The property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel).

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Cullercoats. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should 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 Cullercoats 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
