Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the HSBC Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Pocklington?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Pocklington is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Pocklington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pocklington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pocklington 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.

My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Pocklington. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

They would have to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to inform them of the replacement conveyancer and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added fees and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
