My fiance and I are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Marchington with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We have a Marchington conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society says she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Marchington solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.

Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian property in Marchington. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Godiva Mortgages Ltd to clarify?

You need to read 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).

You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
