My financial adviser has asked me for my Loughborough lawyer’ panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have contacted my local Loughborough office but they cant find it on their system.

I am the registered owner of a freehold property in Loughborough yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Loughborough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Loughborough but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I have todaybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Loughborough for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Loughborough I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Loughborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Loughborough
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Loughborough conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
