My IFA says he needs my Kimbolton law firm’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Kimbolton office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Kimbolton solicitor . Most Kimbolton law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Kimbolton. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kimbolton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Kimbolton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
You must advise Principality in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Kimbolton building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Kimbolton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Kimbolton 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
