I am not in a position to travel far from Hartlebury. Is there a reason why all Hartlebury conveyancers aren't included on all bank panels?
As unjust as it may seem for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the other side of the coin is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and regard it necessary to defend themselves from illegal activities. As a result of this concern mortgage companies have restricted their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hartlebury? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Hartlebury.

We are selling our house in Hartlebury. Does my lawyer have to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays 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 in recent years.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hartlebury is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hartlebury are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hartlebury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hartlebury may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
