My IFA requires my Limehouse lawyer’ panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Limehouse office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Limehouse conveyancing practitioner . Most Limehouse conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Limehouse. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Limehouse relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I have a renovated Georgian house in Limehouse. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Limehouse and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but I am based in Limehouse. My conveyancer (approximately 260 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Limehouse to attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Limehouse based
We have been advised by various estate agents that it can take 6-8 weeks for Limehouse conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The paperwork was only received to my conveyancing practitioner a couple of days ago so does the clock start running now?
Six to 8 weeks is a very unreliable timescale. Providing assurances as to exactly how long Limehouse conveyancing will take is an impossible task. Without fail every property has it’s bespoke set of complexities. As a result your lawyer should be unwilling to accurately predict the length of time it will take to complete conveyancing in Limehouse.
