My financial adviser has asked me for my St Austell solicitor’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local St Austell office but they have not got back to me yet.

When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in St Austell and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in St Austell you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in St Austell)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian property in St Austell. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. 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 for 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 St Austell and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in St Austell I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Austell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
