My IFA has asked me for my Robin Hoods Bay solicitor’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have contacted my local Robin Hoods Bay branch but they don't know it.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Robin Hoods Bay. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society. 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 exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Robin Hoods Bay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Robin Hoods Bay I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Robin Hoods Bay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
