Is the fact that my solicitor in Harold Park is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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 Harold Park conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Will my solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Harold Park.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Harold Park. Some people will purchase a house in Harold Park, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Harold Park. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s solicitors should also commission an environmental report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Harold Park. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Harold Park - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
