I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Queenborough with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address.

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).

I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Queenborough to find a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
