My financial adviser has requested my Wollaston lawyer’ panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Wollaston office but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Wollaston conveyancing practitioner . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
I purchased a freehold premises in Wollaston but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Wollaston and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wollaston but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.

Me and my partner are buying a house in Wollaston. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Wollaston on 7/4/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have instructed a Wollaston conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Wollaston surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Wollaston the following are examples of issues that can appear and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
