I plan on buying a flat in Eltham. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to use my Eltham conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must use a solicitor to deal with the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your property. The property lawyer will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may appoint a Eltham conveyancer of your choosing. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
The Eltham conveyancing firm handling our Eltham conveyancing has uncovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Eltham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Eltham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Eltham and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
