My home in Harrow on the Hill is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the solicitor have to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Harrow on the Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Harrow on the Hill. Having lived in Harrow on the Hill for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Harrow on the Hill. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Harrow on the Hill - 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.
