Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Forest Gate is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Forest Gate conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Forest Gate for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out 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 Forest Gate conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Forest Gate I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Forest Gate in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
We are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Forest Gate. I am am very disappointed with the level of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A lawyer would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and get the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. So that should be your starting point.
