I am refinancing my home in Wallington, does my lawyer need to be on the Nationwide Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, but Nationwide would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Wallington 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wallington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Wallington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wallington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wallington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Wallington conveyancing firm?
As with many professional services, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all suggest lawyers to retain. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own lawyer. You need to be aware that some lenders operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
