It has come to my attention via my estate agent that my Hurst Green the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
You need to contact your Hurst Green conveyancer. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Hurst Green conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
Can you recommend a Yorkshire Building Society accepted Hurst Green conveyancing conveyancer finish our home move within 10 days? Would it be better to use a high street Hurst Green practice or an internet firm?

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify practices on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Hurst Green?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Hurst Green 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be evidenced by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Hurst Green ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on such a house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hurst Green. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Hurst Green especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Hurst Green.
I was recommended by a number of estate agents in Hurst Green to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above another?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
