What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Nottingham Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Frognal?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. 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 at a cost.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Frognal. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review 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 Frognal and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

My fiance and I are purchasing a three room maisonettein Frognal with a home loan from a mortgage company. We have selected a lawyer in Frognal however our mortgage company advise he's not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Frognal conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Frognal lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Frognal : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
