We decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in Sheringham with a homeloan from Barclays Direct.We like our Sheringham conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barclays Direct panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Barclays Direct approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Sheringham. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Sheringham?

We were going to get a OIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Sheringham solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Sheringham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Sheringham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?
You should read 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 Sheringham 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 buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
