I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

Most buyers of new build premises in North Walsham come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in North Walsham typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in North Walsham or who has acted in the same development.

They advised me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested HSBC to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You should ask HSBC what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in North Walsham on the approved list for HSBC.
