My mortgage broker has requested my Custom House solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Custom House office but they cant find it on their system.

My relative suggested that where I am buying in Custom House I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Custom House conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Custom House Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Custom House.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Custom House for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Custom House conveyancing specialists.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Custom House is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Custom House are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Custom House you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Custom House may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I am a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to solicitors by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Custom House. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
A solicitor would have to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new conveyancer and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental charges and frustration. That should be your starting point.
