We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Grenoside
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Grenoside conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
What are the frequently found defects that you see in leases for Grenoside properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Grenoside is not unique. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

My wife and I have appointed a Grenoside conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the engagement letter that they are not regulated by the FCA. Need I be concerned or is that standard with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. They should be regulated by the SRA, who dictate stringent conditions in place on amounts held by them.
