My husband and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Borth with a mortgage. We like our Borth conveyancer, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Borth solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. Another option that might be available is for your Borth conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian house in Borth. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease.
