My financial adviser says he needs my Sprowston law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have called my local Sprowston branch but they cant find it on their system.
You are best placed to get this information from your Sprowston lawyer . Most Sprowston law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sprowston?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank to check if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Sprowston.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Sprowston 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to locate all the relevant documentation so you may buy or sell your house without a hitch. If copies can’t be found, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your property.
I'm buying a new build house in Sprowston with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
