We are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Todwick with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Todwick conveyancer, however the lender says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Todwick conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Todwick conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Todwick. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Todwick - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
