I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in White City?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the lender to check if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in White City.

I own a terraced Georgian property in White City. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in White City and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. White City is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in White City are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside White City you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in White City may ascertain 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 residence.
