Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hedon is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Hedon conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
Having sold my house in Hedon last May but our buyer keeps calling me to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your disposal your conveyancer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Hedon.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Hedon. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I'm buying my first flat in Hedon benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hedon is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Hedon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hedon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hedon may determine 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.
