My mortgage broker requires my Selby solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Selby office but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Selby conveyancing practitioner . Most Selby conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Selby. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to retain a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are facing a tight a fixed date to complete the deal. All auction property will have an associated legal set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer requires.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being problematic. The Selby solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander 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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Selby 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Selby I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Selby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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 concerning this.
My husband and I are disposing of a Selby house left to us some years ago in 2010. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, now retired, wish to do the conveyancing. The purchaser's solicitor has informed me that their building society will not allow us to do our own conveyancing insisting the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether they are prepared to move forward.
