I was told yesterday by my mortgage broker that my Pound Hill lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Pound Hill lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.

About to purchase a new build flat in Pound Hill. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pound Hill
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Should I be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Pound Hill conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward conveyancers to select. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
My husband and I are selling a Pound Hill property left to us seven years ago in 2011. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, see no reason not to undertake my own legal work. The buyer's conveyancer has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to property lawyers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor is not legally represented the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be told so that a decision can be reached if they are willing to progress.
