My mortgage broker requires my Ludgershall lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Ludgershall office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Ludgershall . Most Ludgershall law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ludgershall

I own a leasehold house in Ludgershall. Conveyancing and mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Ludgershall who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Ludgershall conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
