Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Clowne is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Clowne conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Clowne so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
Whereas this was necessary 15 years ago, almost all banks no longer need their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature. It will still be necessary for you to supply ID documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a locally based solicitor, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Clowne.

I purchased my apartment on 1 June and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Clowne said it will be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Clowne particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Clowne registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Clowne. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Clowne - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
