My IFA has requested my Irlam lawyer’ panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have contacted my local Irlam branch but they don't know it.

My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Co-operative as we want to carry out alterations to our home in Irlam. Do we need to appoint a nearby Irlam solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Co-operative would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative list.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being problematic. The Irlam solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
