Some advice if I may. My Pentre Halkyn lawyer is informing me me that he has toapply for Pentre Halkyn conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Pentre Halkyn conveyancing searches.
My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Pentre Halkyn. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Pentre Halkyn and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Do I need to be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Pentre Halkyn conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that some mortgage providers have an approved list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
