I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Shard End the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Shard End conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Shard End conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for obstruction in Shard End conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

I am purchasing a new build house in Shard End with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Shard End I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Shard End for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. 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 a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
